Frequently Asked Questions
Does paying extra on a car loan save money?
Yes. Extra payments go directly to principal, reducing the balance that accrues interest. Even $50-100 extra per month can save hundreds in interest and shorten your loan by months.
Should I pay off my car loan early?
If your interest rate is above 5-6%, paying it off early usually makes sense. If your rate is very low (0-3%), you might earn more by investing the extra money instead.
Is there a penalty for paying off a car loan early?
Most auto loans have no prepayment penalty, but check your loan agreement. Some subprime lenders do include prepayment penalties.
