FAQ
What is a prepayment penalty?
A fee some loans charge if you pay off the balance early, often a percentage of the remaining principal, meant to offset interest the lender expected to earn.
Do all loans have this?
No — many loans have no prepayment penalty at all. Check your loan agreement for a prepayment penalty clause before assuming one applies.
How do I know if paying early is worth it?
Compare the estimated penalty against the interest you'd save by paying off the loan sooner — if the interest savings are larger, paying early may still make sense.
