Extra Mortgage Payment Calculator

Estimate payoff time and interest differences from a fixed extra monthly principal payment.

Quick answer: Estimate payoff time and interest savings from extra principal using the current average mortgage rate as an editable starting assumption. Enter Current Loan Balance, Interest Rate, Remaining Loan Term (Years), and Extra Payment Per Month to personalize the estimate. It returns New Total Monthly Payment, Current Monthly Payment, and New Payoff Time so you can compare the impact before choosing a next step. Use it to compare payment, equity, rate, and timing tradeoffs before applying or changing a loan.

About mortgage rates

Mortgage rates depend on loan type (30-yr fixed, 15-yr fixed, ARM, FHA, VA, jumbo), your credit score, down payment, points paid, loan amount, property state, and whether you're purchasing or refinancing. The calculator above uses a representative market rate for payment estimates — your actual rate will vary.

For a personalized rate comparison, use the tool below to see lenders ranked by APR, loan type, and your profile.
