The current principal balance is the amount still owed on the original amount financed without any interest or finance charges that are due.
Basically, your balance is what you currently owe, and your payoff is what you owe plus interest that accrues from the statement date and a specific payoff date.
The statement is provided by the mortgage servicer and can be requested at any time. Accurate payoff information is crucial for managing financial decisions related to property ownership.
There's a process to getting the mortgage payoff statement. First, you'll need to contact your lender and let them know you want the information. Depending on your lender, you may have to sign in to an online account, call a helpline, or send a formal letter to start the request process.
