Why you should know your debt-free date

Most borrowers know their EMI but not when the loan will actually end, or how much interest they'll pay in total. Having that one date in front of you turns a vague burden into a clear finish line.

How the Debt Calculator works

Pick any debt you've saved in Fincency (or type your own numbers): amount left, interest rate, payment amount and frequency. You instantly see three headline numbers — your debt-free date, total interest and total you'll pay — plus a full payment schedule.

For example, ₹1,00,000 at 12% with ₹5,000 a month takes around 23 months with about ₹12,000 in interest. Doubling the payment roughly halves both the time and the interest.

The power of paying a little more

The 'Pay a little more?' table shows what +10%, +25% and +50% extra per payment does. Because extra money goes straight to principal, interest shrinks every month after.

  • +10% extra: a few months sooner
  • +25% extra: noticeably less interest
  • +50% extra: often a year or more saved on longer loans

Monthly vs quarterly vs yearly payments

Fincency supports monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly repayments. The calculator compares them while spending the same money per month — and paying more often usually saves interest, because the balance drops sooner.

Track every payment until you're done

When you pay, press the green + on the debt. The remaining balance drops, the payment is saved in history, and your 'Debt-free by' date updates. Press 'Mark paid off' on the last one and celebrate.

Calculations are estimates. Check exact figures with your lender before prepaying.
