How does the calculator help
The first line of the Loan Terms portion of your Closing Disclosure will include the mortgage amount.
- How long do you hope it will take you to pay off your mortgage? To examine how your payout timeframe impacts your overall interest savings, enter different values.
- What is the sum you still owe (the remaining amount)? Check a recent monthly bill for this amount or get in touch with the mortgage servicer. Instead, you may use the mortgage amortization calculator on NerdWallet and move the slider to determine how much you still owe.
- The principle and interest components of your monthly payments are only represented in dollar numbers. In addition to your regular monthly payment, you could additionally have to pay taxes, homeowners insurance, and mortgage insurance (if applicable).
How to pay off the mortgage early with a calculator
You must make more payments if you want to pay off your mortgage sooner, but there are several strategies you may use.
Here are a few particular suggestions:
- Implement the 1/12 rule. Add that sum to each monthly installment by dividing your monthly principle payment by 12. Instead of the minimum 12 payments per year, you wind up making the equivalent of 13 payments.
- Employ a savings account. Each month, save one-twelfth of the principal payment and then use that money to make a 13th payment.
- Pay every two weeks. Pay a portion of your mortgage every two weeks. You make 26 half payments every year, which is equal to 13 full payments. Be sure your mortgage servicer is geared up to do this before doing it if you wish to.
