How much total interest would I pay on $10M over 10 years?

Estimated total interest is about $3.2M, which is roughly 32.0% of the original loan amount.

Does borrowing $10M over 10 years make sense?

That setup may ease monthly cash flow, but the longer term usually raises total interest cost compared with a shorter loan.

What happens if I extend the term from 10 years to 15 years?

Extending the term usually lowers the monthly payment but raises total interest materially.

What if I prepay part of a $10M loan over 10 years?

Extra principal usually lowers future interest because interest is charged on the remaining balance.
