Assumptions on this page

  • Extra money is applied to principal in the month it is paid, and the scheduled payment does not change.
  • The comparison is against the identical loan with no extra payments.
  • It ignores what the same money would earn invested, and any prepayment terms in a real note.
  • Check with a real servicer that extra payments are applied to principal rather than held as a prepaid instalment.

Every rate, fee and figure here is illustrative and set for demonstration. Nothing on this page is a quote, an offer, a commitment to lend, or tax advice.
