Save my saving of €14,867. With €100 extra per month you would save interest and shorten the debt.
Enter the outstanding principal, interest rate, remaining term and extra monthly amount. The tool estimates the payment, total interest and months shortened.
It calculates the standard French amortization payment and then applies the extra amount to principal each month. Lower principal reduces future interest.
Adding $100 per month to a typical mortgage can save around $9,000 in interest and shorten the loan by several years, depending on principal, rate and term.
Mortgage overpayment has a known effect: each dollar repaid avoids interest at the mortgage rate. Compare that with other possible uses of the money, including risk, liquidity and taxes.
Avoid overpaying until the emergency buffer disappears. Also check whether the mortgage charges early-repayment fees.
Assumptions: fixed interest rate and extra payments used to shorten the term. Variable-rate mortgages and fees can change the real result.
