Why does a loan calculator show lower total payments after extending the loan term?

Our answer

Longer terms usually lower monthly payments but increase total interest; compare total repayment, not just instalment size.

Why this approach makes sense

Travel, transport and payment providers use different rules. The correct answer comes from the actual booking, provider and transaction.

Before you try it

Check the operator’s current conditions and keep any relevant receipt or confirmation.
