What is the Extra Payment Mortgage Calculator?
See how extra monthly or lump-sum payments shorten a mortgage and cut interest.
It computes your regular payment from the balance, rate and remaining years, then simulates the loan twice month by month: once as scheduled and once with your extra monthly amount and one-time payment applied to principal. The difference gives time saved and interest saved.
Borrowing is easier to judge once you can see the real cost: the monthly payment, the total interest and how long it takes to be free of the debt.

Tips for better results
Small extra amounts early in the loan save the most because they reduce the balance that accrues interest for longest. Confirm with your lender that extra payments are applied to principal and that there is no prepayment penalty.
Compare offers using the total cost, not just the monthly payment.
Even a small extra payment each month can shorten the term noticeably.

Frequently asked questions
Is it better to pay extra monthly or in one lump sum?
Both reduce principal; the earlier money is applied, the more interest it saves. You can enter both amounts to compare.
Should I overpay the mortgage or invest instead?
It depends on your mortgage rate versus the return you can expect after risk and tax. Paying down the loan is a guaranteed return equal to the interest rate.
