Why fixed extra payments work

A fixed extra payment is a commitment to pay the same amount above your minimum every single month. Unlike variable extra payments, this approach builds a habit and provides predictable results.

The math is simple

  • Every extra dollar goes directly to principal
  • Less principal = less interest = faster payoff
  • The effect compounds over time

Finding your fixed extra amount

Look at your budget and find an amount you can commit to every single month. It's better to pick a sustainable amount than an aggressive one you'll abandon.
