Key Prepayment Strategies
Annual Bonus Strategy
Allocate 70-80% of your annual bonus towards loan prepayment. This creates significant impact without affecting your monthly budget.
Step-up Prepayments
Increase your prepayment amount by 10-15% each year as your salary grows. This leverages your career progression for faster loan repayment.
Early Years Focus
Prepay more aggressively in the first 3-5 years when interest forms a larger portion of your EMI for maximum savings.
