Summary
The Ideal option pursues 100% efficiency-every extra dollar works fully toward cutting interest and time. A 17.3% increase in the monthly payment translates into a 66.2% reduction in interest and a 58.8% shorter term-yielding a +48.9 pp advantage (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline.

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 32.2% increase in the monthly payment delivers a 76.2% reduction in interest and a 69.3% shorter term-yielding a +44.0 pp advantage (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline. In dollar terms, that's +$407/mo to save about $272,742 and cut 20y 11mo from the schedule. It sacrifices some efficiency relative to Ideal but dramatically accelerates payoff.
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 86.2% increase delivers a 87.9% reduction in interest and a 83.2% shorter term-yielding a +1.7 pp advantage (interest reduction minus payment increase) vs Baseline. In nominal terms, that's +$1,089/mo to save about $314,665 and cut 25y 1mo from the schedule. Note: treat Max as an upper boundary-going beyond this level reduces overall efficiency and can turn negative.
