Determining how much extra to pay is complicated because your income can vary and bills are sometimes unpredictable. So, there may be different times of the year when extra money is available and it is possible to make one extra payment or you may prefer to be consistent and pay an extra 1/12 of the payment on a monthly basis. Either way, one extra mortgage payment can save you thousands in interest. We have included an excel spreadsheet for your use so that multiple scenarios can be entered to find the best option for you.
The spreadsheet above will allow you to enter different rates, loan amounts and terms and will be a great tool to be utilized for budgeting purposes. Additionally, the excel spreadsheet will serve as a visual tool to understand the impact of extra mortgage payments and hopefully motivate you to consistently pay extra mortgage payments.

Accelerated mortgage payoff calculator
Your financial situation will fluctuate throughout the term of your mortgage loan. You might be in a healthier financial position at different periods of the mortgage term. Various life events, such as work bonuses or inheritances, may create large sums that will allow you to pay down or off your mortgage faster. If you pay down your mortgage with a large sum, ask your Lender about Recasting your mortgage. This will allow you to reduce your monthly payment by resetting your mortgage payment based on the current balance.
