- [ 01 ]
Tell the servicer where it goes
Extra payments should reduce principal, not 'advance' the due date. Most servicers have a setting; some need a note with each payment. - [ 02 ]
Target one loan
Federal loans are usually several loans under one servicer. Send the extra to the highest-rate one, not spread across all. - [ 03 ]
Keep the autopay discount
Most servicers cut the rate by 0.25% for autopay. Set the regular payment to autopay and add the extra manually. - [ 04 ]
Check refinancing carefully
A private refinance can lower the rate but ends federal protections and forgiveness options. Only refinance loans you are sure you will pay in full.
All your loans, one date.
A student loan rarely travels alone. Add it with your cards and car loan in the avalanche calculator to see which to attack first, and check how the payment affects your debt-to-income ratio before any big application.
Keep going.

How long until zero, and what an extra $50 a month does to the date.
Your DTI the way a lender sees it, and how much room you have.
