FAQ
The PMT function in Excel determines the total payment owed each period—inclusive of the interest and principal payment. The total payment, unlike the other two components, will remain constant over the entire borrowing term.
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.
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).
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.
If you prepay your mortgage you reduce the principal balance, reducing the interest due next month and every month forward. If you prepay $1000 on your mortgage, the interest next month will be reduced by 10003.7%/12=3.08 You will still make the same payment, but an additional 3.083 will be credited toward principal.
