3. Importance of Extra Payments

Details: Making extra payments reduces your principal faster, which decreases the total interest paid and can significantly shorten your loan term.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: How much can I save with extra payments?
A: Even small extra payments can save thousands in interest and reduce your loan term by years.

Q2: Should I pay extra principal or refinance?
A: This depends on your interest rate and how long you plan to stay in the home. Use this calculator to compare options.

Q3: How does remaining balance change over time?
A: Early in the loan, most payments go toward interest. As principal decreases, more goes toward principal.

Q4: Are there prepayment penalties?
A: Most modern loans don't have prepayment penalties, but check your loan terms to be sure.

Q5: Is it better to make extra payments monthly or yearly?
A: More frequent extra payments (monthly) save more interest due to compounding, but any extra helps.
