    Lets put aside principal payment since its really straight forward.

    I am curious how the bank, etc calculate regular advance payment. Lets say my normal monthly payment is 368 on the 5th of the month (4 years left on loan 1.99%, $17XXX balance yesterday).

    Yesterday I made a $3100 regular payment (now my balance is $14322) which pushed my next payment til Nov. 5.

    From reading the internet, I interpret that they will apply the amount to each month plus the usual interest?. Am I correct? Past months typical monthly interest was about $30.

    Anybody got a good explanation. I used to work at Credit Union, but I am just an IT guy:eek:
