Even a single extra payment made each year can reduce the amount of interest and shorten the amortization, as long as the payment goes toward the principal and not the interest. Just make sure your lender processes the payment this way.
Biweekly payments mean you will make payments once every 2 weeks for 26 payments a year. With this payment schedule, there will be a few months each year where you will make 3 mortgage payments instead of 2. Weekly payments mean you will make a payment every week for 52 payments a year.
With a Bi-Weekly mortgage plan, you make payments to your lender every two weeks instead of once a month (with each payment representing half of your monthly payment).
You can ask your lender for an amortization schedule, but this might not be as helpful if you're looking to see how extra payments could impact that schedule.
Fortunately, Excel can be used to create an amortization schedule. The amortization schedule template below can be used for a variable number of periods, as well as extra payments and variable interest rates.
