Every extra dollar goes straight at the balance, so it stops earning the lender interest for the rest of the loan. That is why a modest amount each month takes years off. Tell your lender the extra is for principal, or some of them will simply hold it and call your next payment early.
A bonus or a tax refund put against the balance today.
