Extra Payment Calculator
Small additions to your monthly principal payment can shave years off your mortgage and save you tens of thousands of dollars in interest over the life of your loan.
All calculations, payment projections, and rate scenarios provided by this tool are hypothetical and intended solely for educational purposes and preliminary budgeting. These figures do not constitute a formal Loan Estimate, quote, pre-approval, commitment to lend, or rate lock guarantee pursuant to the Truth in Lending Act (TILA), the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), or Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) regulations.
Actual loan qualification, annual percentage rates (APRs), down payment requirements, property tax assessments, homeowners insurance premiums, and private mortgage insurance (PMI) are determined exclusively through a formal underwriting evaluation of your verified credit, income, assets, and specific property valuation. For verified financing terms tailored to your exact scenario, please schedule a strategy session with the Rob Miller team.
Why Make Extra Payments?
When you make an "extra" payment, you should specify that it is for **Principal Only**. This reduces the base balance that your interest is calculated from. Over time, this creates a snowball effect where more of your regular monthly payment goes toward principal rather than interest.
Is it always the best move? Not necessarily. Depending on your current interest rate and other high-interest debts (like credit cards), it might be smarter to invest that extra cash or pay off higher-interest balances first.
