How Extra Payments Save You Money

1

Reduces Principal Faster

Every extra dollar goes straight to your principal balance, reducing the amount that accrues interest.

2

Saves Interest

Less principal means less interest charged. You pay off your loan years earlier and save thousands.

3

Builds Equity

Extra payments build home equity faster, giving you more financial flexibility and borrowing power.

Important Disclaimers:

  • Check for Prepayment Penalties: Some loans have penalties for paying off early. Verify your loan terms before making extra payments.
  • Specify Principal-Only: Tell your lender to apply extra payments to principal, not future payments.
  • Emergency Fund First: Maintain 3-6 months of expenses before aggressively paying down your mortgage.
  • Consider Other Debt: If you have higher-interest debt (credit cards, car loans), pay those off first.
  • Investment Trade-Off: Consider whether investing extra money may yield higher returns than your mortgage rate.
