During the Repayment Period, payments will be due monthly. Your minimum monthly payment will equal 1/120th of the principal balance that was outstanding at the end of the Draw Period plus any finance charges that have accrued on the remaining balance using the average daily balance method, providing the principal payment is no less than $75.00, plus any amounts past due.
