Model overview
Understand the model at a glance
What this model does
- Shows the original payoff timeline and the accelerated payoff path with extra payments.
- Calculates total interest paid, total interest saved, and how many months you may cut from the schedule.
- Builds a year-by-year amortization chart plus a detailed amortization table you can review line by line.
Key assumptions
- This calculator models principal-and-interest payments only and excludes taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and escrow changes.
- The interest rate is assumed fixed for the modeled schedule.
- One-time extra payment is applied with the first modeled payment.
Example scenario
A borrower paying $250 extra each month and adding a $5,000 lump-sum payment at the start may cut years from the payoff schedule while saving a meaningful amount of interest.

How the math works
Open to review the formulas and planning logic behind this model.
- The standard schedule uses your current balance, rate, and regular monthly payment to project the baseline payoff date.
- The accelerated schedule adds extra monthly principal and any one-time lump sum, then recalculates the balance each month until it reaches zero.
- Interest savings come from reducing principal faster, which leaves less balance exposed to future interest charges.

Insights and recommendations
Questions
FAQ
Does paying extra always save interest?
Usually yes on a fixed-rate loan, because every extra dollar applied to principal reduces the balance that future interest is charged on.
Should I prioritize mortgage prepayment over investing?
That depends on your rate, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and retirement timeline. This calculator helps quantify the debt side of that tradeoff.
Can I use this for refinancing decisions?
You can use it as a quick payoff reference, but a refinance comparison usually needs closing costs, new term length, and new payment details.
What counts as the monthly payment here?
Use the monthly principal-and-interest portion of the payment, not the escrow-inclusive amount from your mortgage statement.
What if I make irregular extra payments?
Use the one-time extra payment field for a lump sum and the extra monthly payment field for a recurring pattern. For more complex schedules, treat this as a directional estimate.
Why is the payoff date earlier even when the extra payment looks small?
Small recurring principal reductions compound because each month they lower the balance that interest is calculated on.
Does this include taxes and inflation?
No. This calculator focuses on the loan amortization mechanics rather than broader homeownership cost inflation.
