Frequently asked questions

What goes into a loan payment?

Each payment covers the interest accrued that month plus a portion of principal. Early payments are mostly interest; later ones mostly principal.

How can I lower my payment?

A longer term, lower rate, or larger down payment all reduce the monthly payment — though a longer term raises total interest.
