Understanding Extra-Payment Payoff Math
How do extra principal payments affect my mortgage?
Extra principal payments reduce the loan balance directly. This means subsequent interest charges (which are calculated as a percentage of the remaining balance) are smaller, allowing more of your regular payment to go toward principal.
Is paying off my mortgage early a good idea?
Yes, if your mortgage interest rate is high. Paying down a 6% mortgage guarantees a 6% risk-free, tax-free return on your money. However, if your rate is very low (e.g. 3%), you might earn more by investing in index funds.
