Summary

Standard
The Value Pick
The Standard option provides a balanced middle ground-more savings and faster payoff than Basic, but still very budget-friendly. It's the best value choice for most users, combining meaningful efficiency with affordability.

Summary
The Ideal option pursues 100% efficiency-every extra dollar works fully toward cutting interest and time.

Quick
The Fast Track
Quick accelerates loan payoff with a higher monthly payment, offering significant time savings. However, it is less efficient than the Ideal option-if fast repayment isn't essential, the Ideal choice is more effective.

Summary
The Quick option prioritizes speed: a 35.1% boost in the monthly payment delivers a 55.0% reduction in interest and a 49.4% shorter term-yielding a +19.9 pp advantage (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline. It sacrifices some efficiency relative to Ideal but dramatically accelerates payoff. In dollar terms, that's +$369/mo to save about $60,155 and cut 7y 5mo from the schedule.
Efficiency
Normalized 0-100 based on your scenario.
Max
The Overpay Zone
The Max option represents the upper limit for monthly payments-beyond this point, additional increases lead to negative efficiency. It serves as a clear indicator that, even if extra payments are affordable, exceeding this cap is not a wise strategy.

Summary
The Max option pushes the monthly payment to a practical ceiling: a 68.4% rise delivers a 69.5% reduction in interest and a 64.4% shorter term-yielding a -1.1 pp efficiency (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline. In nominal terms, that's +$719/mo to save about $76,039 and cut 9y 8mo from the schedule. Note: treat Max as an upper boundary-going beyond this level reduces overall efficiency and can turn negative.
