1. What is Mortgage Early Repayment?

Early mortgage repayment involves making additional payments beyond your regular mortgage installments. These extra payments directly reduce your principal balance, which can significantly decrease the total interest you pay over the life of the loan and shorten your loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

\[ Savings = Total\ Interest\ Without\ Early\ Repayment - Total\ Interest\ With\ Early\ Repayment \]

Where:

Total Interest Without Early Repayment — Standard amortization calculation
Total Interest With Early Repayment — Amortization with additional payments applied to principal

Explanation: The calculator simulates both scenarios (with and without extra payments) to determine how much interest you can save by making additional payments toward your mortgage principal.

3. Benefits of Early Mortgage Repayment

Details: Making extra mortgage payments can save thousands in interest, build equity faster, and potentially help you become mortgage-free years earlier. Even small additional payments can have a significant impact over time due to compound interest savings.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and the additional payment amount you plan to make. Select your payment frequency. All values must be valid positive numbers.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How much can I save with early mortgage repayment?
A: Savings depend on your loan amount, interest rate, and the amount of extra payments. Even small regular extra payments can save thousands over the life of the loan.

Q2: Are there penalties for early mortgage repayment?
A: Some mortgages have prepayment penalties. Check your loan agreement or consult with your lender before making extra payments.

Q3: Should I prioritize mortgage repayment over other investments?
A: This depends on your mortgage interest rate compared to potential investment returns. Generally, if your mortgage rate is higher than expected investment returns, paying down your mortgage may be beneficial.

Q4: How often should I make extra payments?
A: Consistency is key. Regular extra payments, even if small, can have a significant impact over time. Many people add extra payments with each regular payment.

Q5: Does the calculator account for changing interest rates?
A: This calculator assumes a fixed interest rate. For adjustable-rate mortgages, the savings calculation would be more complex and would require different modeling.
