Mortgage Payoff Calculator — frequently asked questions

Straight answers about taxes, PMI, extra payments, and biweekly schedules.

How much do extra payments save?+

Extra payments go directly to principal, reducing the balance and the interest charged on future payments. Even $50–100/month can save thousands and shorten the term by years.

Should I make extra payments or invest?+

It depends on your rate and investment returns. Paying down a 6.5% mortgage is a guaranteed 6.5% return. Compare to your expected investment returns and risk tolerance.

Do biweekly payments really help?+

Yes. Biweekly payments create 26 half-payments per year, equivalent to 13 full payments. That extra payment accelerates payoff and reduces total interest.

Can I model a one-time lump sum payment?+

Yes. Use the one-time extra payment field. Enter the amount and the calculator will show the new payoff date and interest saved.

Will my lender accept extra payments?+

Most lenders accept extra principal payments. Some may have a minimum or require you to specify that the payment goes to principal. Check your servicer’s rules.
