Frequently asked questions
How much can extra mortgage payments save?
It depends on your balance, interest rate, remaining term, and payment size. Extra principal generally reduces future interest because the balance falls faster.
Should I pay off my mortgage early or invest?
That decision depends on your rate, risk tolerance, tax situation, liquidity needs, and other goals. Compare a guaranteed interest saving with your expected investment return.
Can I make extra principal payments?
Many mortgages allow additional principal payments, but check your loan terms for prepayment rules and make sure your servicer applies the extra amount to principal.
