How do extra payments work?

When you pay more than your required monthly payment, the extra amount goes directly toward reducing your principal balance. Because your balance drops faster, you accrue less interest over the life of the loan, allowing you to pay off the mortgage years earlier.

What is an amortization schedule?

An amortization schedule is a complete table of periodic loan payments, showing the amount of principal and the amount of interest that comprise each payment until the loan is paid off. In the early years, most of your payment goes toward interest, while in later years, most goes toward the principal.

What is included in a monthly mortgage payment?

A standard mortgage payment consists of Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance (often abbreviated as PITI).

How do prepayments affect my mortgage?

Making extra payments directly towards the principal reduces the remaining balance, saving significant interest and shortening the loan term.

What is private mortgage insurance (PMI)?

PMI is a monthly lender fee required if your down payment is less than 20% of the home purchase price. It protects the lender from default.
