What moves this number

Extra per month

Another R500/month on top of your current extra pays this loan off about 1y 7m sooner.

Term mode

Fixed-term shortens the loan. Fixed-payment keeps today’s instalment and saves interest. Access bond saves interest AND keeps the extra withdrawable.

Starting month

The earlier you start, the bigger the saving. The first month of extra payment cuts more interest than the last.
