With $200 extra a month, the modeled loan ends 57 months (4 years 9 months) sooner, with $68,041 less interest and $48,400 of extra payments.

Scheduled payment: the fixed payment that clears the balance in the time left, $2,026 a month.

Ending it 5 years sooner
$212 a month extra
The smallest whole amount that ends the loan after 240 months (20 years) instead of 300. Interest on the rest of the loan would be $236,587 instead of $307,686, $71,099 less, and the extra payments would total $50,668.
Still owed without extra
$99,108
What the loan without extra still owes after 243 months (20 years 3 months), when the loan with extra payments is paid off.

Under these assumptions. Principal and interest only; taxes, insurance, escrow and any prepayment penalty are not included. The rate stays fixed and each extra payment is applied to principal on the payment date. This does not compare paying extra with other uses of the money, and it does not indicate whether to pay extra.

If the extra or the rate were different

Months sooner and less interest for other extra amounts and rates, with the time left held. Your inputs are outlined.
