Mortgage Extra Payment Calculator
Estimate payoff time and interest savings from monthly or one-time extra mortgage payments. Educational estimates only.
How to use this calculator
Enter the current principal balance, mortgage rate, years remaining, and planned extra monthly principal. The tool compares the scheduled loan with the accelerated payoff scenario.
When this calculator is useful
- Comparing extra-payment scenarios before changing autopay
- Comparing prepayment with other savings goals
- Estimating interest savings before changing autopay
Important limitations
Confirm that your servicer applies extra money to principal and check for prepayment restrictions. Taxes, insurance, escrow, and opportunity cost are not included.
For best results, run at least three cases: a conservative case, a middle case, and a stretch case. If a small change in inputs creates a big change in the answer, that is a sign the decision may be sensitive to rates, fees, timing, or market performance.
