The loan is amortized month by month with the extra amount added to each payment until the balance reaches zero, then compared with the standard schedule.
Do extra payments always help? Yes, they cut principal sooner so less interest accrues. Check there is no prepayment penalty.
Is this principal and interest only? Yes, taxes and insurance are excluded.
