How to use the early repayment calculator
- Enter the outstanding balance, interest rate and remaining months.
- Enter how much you want to repay now.
- Choose whether to shorten the term or lower the payment and compare the interest.
How early repayment is calculated
Saving = interest without prepaying − interest after prepaying
Lowering the balance reduces each month's interest. Shortening the term usually saves more interest; lowering the payment frees up money each month.
Early repayment example
With €100,000 outstanding at 3% and 240 months left, the payment is €554.60. If you repay €10,000 and keep the payment, you finish 31 months earlier and save €7,520.52 in interest.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to shorten the term or lower the payment?
Shortening the term usually saves more interest; lowering the payment gives more monthly breathing room. It depends on your priorities.
Are there fees?
It depends on the contract and country. Subtract them from the saving to see if it pays off.
