Use the PMT function in Excel to create the formula: PMT(rate, nper, pv, fv, type). 1 This formula lets you calculate monthly payments when you divide the annual interest rate by 12, for the number of months in a year.
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.
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.
Establishing a Payment Schedule Create a timeline for when payments should be made. Specify details such as the payment type, payment amount, and due date. Communicate the payment schedule to both parties. Establish a plan for the consequences of late payments. Keep a record of the payment schedule for reference.
How to create an Excel sheet to track payments Open a new Excel spreadsheet. Create column headings for the following information. Enter the payment information into the spreadsheet. Use formulas to calculate the total amount of payments received and the total amount of outstanding payments.
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.
You'll simply divide the monthly payment in two and four respectively for accelerated bi-weekly and weekly payments. Excel makes this easy. Simple!
