Extra Payment Strategies

Monthly Extra

Add a fixed amount to your monthly payment. Even $50-100 extra can save thousands over the life of your loan.

Annual Windfall

Use tax refunds, bonuses, or other windfalls to make large annual payments toward your principal.

Bi-Weekly Payments

Make half your monthly payment every two weeks. This results in 26 payments per year (equivalent to 13 monthly payments).

When Extra Payments Make Sense

Good Times for Extra Payments

  • • You have high-interest debt paid off
  • • Emergency fund is fully funded
  • • You're maximizing retirement contributions
  • • Interest rate is higher than investment returns
  • • You want guaranteed savings

Consider Investing Instead If

  • • Your mortgage rate is very low (under 4%)
  • • You're not maxing out retirement accounts
  • • You have other high-interest debt
  • • You need more liquid investments
  • • You can earn higher returns elsewhere
