Example Calculation
A $300,000 mortgage with a 3.5% interest rate over 30 years, with $200 extra monthly payments, could save significant interest costs.
Why It Matters
Making extra payments on your mortgage reduces the principal balance, which can lower the amount of interest paid over time and help you pay off the loan sooner.
Smart Strategy
If possible, make extra payments to accelerate your mortgage payoff. You can also choose to apply extra payments during months with higher cash flow.
