Efficiency
Normalized 0-100 based on your scenario.
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% increase in the monthly payment delivers a 54.8% reduction in interest and a 49.2% shorter term-yielding a +19.7 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 +$16,320/mo to save about $3,692,511 and cut 10y 4mo from the schedule, making Quick the right choice for those who value speed over maximum efficiency.
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 68.6% increase delivers a 69.5% reduction in interest and a 64.3% shorter term-yielding a +0.9 pp advantage (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline. In nominal terms, that's +$31,888/mo to save about $4,679,247 and cut 13y 6mo from the schedule. Note: treat Max as an upper boundary-going beyond this level reduces overall efficiency and can turn negative.
