Smart Prepayment Strategies

Pay Extra Every Month

Small consistent payments work best for long-term savings

Use Bonuses Wisely

Annual lump sums reduce tenure significantly

Prepay Early

Maximum impact in first 5 years of loan

Balance with Investments

Don't deplete emergency fund for prepayments

Factors That Maximize Prepayment Benefits

Prepayment Timing

Earlier = More Savings

The sooner you prepay, the greater the interest savings. First 5 years have maximum impact.

Prepayment Amount

Larger = Higher Impact

Bigger prepayments reduce principal faster, compounding your interest savings over time.

Interest Rate

Higher Rate = More Benefit

Prepaying high-interest loans (>10%) provides maximum guaranteed returns on your money.

Tips for Maximizing Prepayment Benefits

Start Prepaying Early

Begin prepayments within the first 5 years for maximum interest savings

Pay Rounded-Up EMIs

Round up your EMI to nearest thousand for consistent prepayments

Use Annual Bonuses

Allocate 30-50% of bonuses toward loan prepayment for big impact

Check Foreclosure Charges

Verify prepayment penalties with your lender before making large payments

Maintain Emergency Fund

Keep 6 months EMI as emergency fund before aggressive prepayments

Track Your Progress

Monitor outstanding balance regularly to stay motivated
