- The faster line shows the month you’d finish and the interest you’d skip.

Questions
Does this work for federal and private loans?
Yes, for a fixed rate and a standard term. Income-driven plans work differently; your servicer can tell you yours.
Should I pay extra or save?
Most people keep a small cushion first. The Debt or Savings calculator walks through it.
How accurate is this?
It’s an estimate from the numbers you enter. Real statements and rates vary a little.
Is this calculator free?
Yes. No sign-up. It’s in the pinchd app too, where the answer fits into your actual paychecks.
