How borrowing works locally

A prepayment privilege allows a borrower to pay more than the scheduled amount, sometimes with a charge attached.

A shorter term raises each payment and lowers the total interest, which is the trade every schedule makes. Variable-rate products move with a reference rate, while fixed-rate products set the price for a defined term.
