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.
Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions.
In summary, the payoff is calculated by adding the unpaid mortgage principal balance, adding the per-diem interest owed, and adding whatever payoff fees are charged by the mortgage servicer (typically about $100 to $150).
This is likely because you've been paying down your mortgage in addition to making your monthly payments. It seems you've made some large additional principal reduction payments (good for you!) which mean you are paying off your mortgage sooner than the bank originally expected.
Under federal law, the servicer must generally send you a payoff statement within seven business days of your request, subject to a few exceptions. (12 C.F.R. § 1026.36.)
Generally speaking, it takes 5-7 business days for a payoff request to be processed.
To get a payoff letter, ask your lender for an official payoff statement. Call or write to customer service or make the request online. While logged into your account, look for options to request or calculate a payoff amount, and provide details such as your desired payoff date.
