Calculates how extra payments, biweekly payment schedules, and lump-sum contributions affect your mortgage payoff date and total interest paid. It compares your current loan path against an accelerated payoff scenario and shows the interest savings and time saved.
Homeowners who want to pay off their mortgage earlier by making extra principal payments or switching to a biweekly payment schedule. Also useful for anyone comparing the long-term cost of different payoff strategies.
The calculator uses a fixed-rate monthly amortization formula. Your loan balance earns interest each period, and your payment first covers that interest before reducing the principal. Extra payments go directly toward principal reduction, shortening the remaining term and lowering total interest.
Assumes a fixed interest rate for the life of the loan. Does not handle adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), escrow changes, PMI removal dates, or lender-specific payoff quote calculations. Biweekly savings are modeled as the equivalent of one extra monthly payment per year.
The baseline and accelerated paths show identical results because no extra principal is being applied. You can still see the standard amortization schedule and payoff timeline for your current loan terms.
If the regular monthly payment is too low relative to the interest accruing each month, the principal balance will not decrease fast enough and the loan will never fully amortize. This can happen with very high interest rates or very low payments.
No. A payoff quote typically includes per-diem interest that has accrued since your last payment date, plus any lender-specific fees. The quote amount is almost always higher than the principal balance shown on your statement.
Yes, this calculator is designed for fixed-rate mortgages and uses a standard monthly amortization model. It does not handle adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), interest-only loans, or negative amortization products.
No. It only calculates payoff timing, payoff quotes, and interest savings for your own planning purposes. Your lender will provide an official payoff statement with exact figures when you request one.
A biweekly schedule effectively makes one extra monthly payment per year because you make 26 half-payments (equivalent to 13 full payments) instead of 12. On a $300,000 30-year mortgage at 6%, this can save over $70,000 in interest and shorten the loan by about 5 years.
No. Private mortgage insurance (PMI), property taxes, and homeowner's insurance are not included in this model. The calculator focuses on principal and interest only, which are the components that change with extra payments.
