How to Read This
  • Keep current terms — nothing changes. Every other row is measured against this one.
  • Interest-only period — your payment drops to just the interest for a while. The balance does not fall at all during those months, so the loan takes longer and costs more.
  • Longer term — the same debt spread over more months. The monthly payment drops the most here, and the total interest rises the most.
  • Lower rate + longer term — the rate falls but the term also stretches. Usually still costs more overall, because the extra months outweigh the cheaper rate.
  • Pay extra each month — the only option here that reduces what you pay. The loan finishes early and interest stops sooner.
⚠️ A smaller monthly payment is not the same as a cheaper loan. Compare the Total Interest column, not the payment.
