Read the result correctly
Extra principal payments reduce the balance sooner and can lower interest charged in future months.
Why can extra payments save interest?
Interest is calculated on the remaining balance, so reducing it sooner lowers future charges.
What should you check first?
Check early repayment fees, minimum amounts and how the schedule will be recalculated.

Is the result exact?
