How the payment is worked out

The payment is fixed, and each month some of it covers interest on what you still owe while the rest reduces the balance. Early payments are mostly interest, which is why the balance falls slowly at first.

An extra payment goes straight to the balance, so you owe less interest every month after. Even a small extra amount can take months off a car loan. Fees and insurance are not included.
