Frequently Asked Questions

Extra payments go directly to principal, reducing your outstanding balance. Since interest is calculated on the remaining balance, each extra payment reduces future interest charges, creating a compounding savings effect.

Monthly overpayments provide steady savings. Lump sums (like tax refunds or bonuses) can have a bigger immediate impact since they reduce principal all at once. The best approach depends on your cash flow.

Most modern mortgages don't have prepayment penalties, but check your loan documents. Some loans penalize paying off more than 20% per year during the first few years.

This depends on your mortgage rate vs. expected investment returns. If your mortgage rate is 6% and you expect 8% market returns, investing might win mathematically. But paying off debt is a guaranteed return.
