Reduce principal
Extra payments reduce the outstanding mortgage balance sooner.
See how regular or one-off mortgage overpayments could reduce your interest and shorten your mortgage term.
Extra payments reduce the outstanding mortgage balance sooner.
A smaller balance means less interest accrues over the remaining term.
If the regular payment stays the same, overpayments can shorten the time until the mortgage is cleared.
It depends on your mortgage rate, savings, emergency fund, other debts and personal goals. This calculator only shows the mathematical effect of overpayments.
Mortgage terms differ. Some lenders limit penalty-free overpayments or charge early repayment fees, so check your current mortgage conditions.
This calculator assumes your normal payment continues, so the main effect shown is a shorter term and lower total interest.
That depends on personal circumstances and investment risk. This calculator does not provide investment advice.
