How to Use

  1. Enter the remaining balance, current mortgage rate, and the payment you are already making.
  2. Add any extra monthly principal payment and optional once-a-year lump sum you expect to make consistently.
  3. Compare the baseline payoff path against the accelerated plan to see months saved and interest avoided.
  4. Review the first-year schedule to understand how quickly extra money shifts the payment mix toward principal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does one extra mortgage payment a year really matter?

Often yes. Because mortgage interest is charged on the remaining balance, even modest recurring extra payments can remove months or years from the back end of the loan and cut total interest materially.

Should I make extra payments or invest instead?

That depends on your mortgage rate, tax situation, liquidity needs, and expected investment returns. This calculator answers the debt side of the tradeoff by showing the guaranteed interest saved.

Will my lender automatically apply extra money to principal?

Not always. Many servicers need the payment marked as principal-only, especially if you are paying more than the amount due. Check servicing instructions before relying on the savings estimate.

Why does a low payment fail the calculator?

If the payment does not cover the monthly interest charge, the balance will not amortize. In that case the calculator flags the payment as too low rather than pretending the loan will eventually pay off.

Can I use this after refinancing or recasting?

Yes. Enter the current remaining balance, rate, and actual payment amount on the loan as it exists today, regardless of how you got there.
