Mortgage entries will be based on:
If you’ve been making regular scheduled payments, choose Original. Otherwise, if you’ve already been making extra or unscheduled payments, choose Current. The first four rows will change when you switch between Original and Current terms.
Original home loan amount:
Enter the dollar amount of the original home loan (principal borrowed) without the dollar sign.
Annual interest rate:
Enter the annual percentage rate (APR) of the house loan without the percent sign (for 6.5%, enter 6.5).
Original home loan term in number of years:
Enter the original repayment term of the house loan in number of years (whole years only, i.e., no decimal point).
Month and year of first mortgage payment:
Select the month and year of your first mortgage payment. If this is an existing mortgage the extra payment mortgage calculator will assume that a payment has not been made for the current month, so the current month will be used as the start of the amortization schedule.
Extra payment to add on a weekly basis:
If you would like to add an extra payment on a reoccurring weekly basis, enter the monthly amount on this line without the dollar sign. If no monthly extra payments are desired, leave blank or enter a zero.
Note that weekly extra payments are applied in a lump sum each month based on how many weeks are in the month (e.g., 31 days in January = 31 ÷ 7 = 4.429 weeks x weekly extra payment).
Extra payment to add on a monthly basis:
If you would like to add an extra payment on a reoccurring monthly basis, enter the monthly amount on this line without the dollar sign. If no monthly extra payments are desired, leave blank or enter a zero.
Extra payment to add on a quarterly basis:
If you would like to add an extra payment on a reoccurring quarterly basis, enter the quarterly amount on this line without the dollar sign. Note that quarterly payments will be allocated in the months of March, June, September, and December. If no quarterly extra payments are desired, leave blank or enter a zero. If no monthly extra payments are desired, leave blank or enter a zero.
Annual extra payment:
If you would like to add an extra payment on a reoccurring annual basis, select the month of the year you plan to make the extra payment and then enter the annual amount on this line. If no annual extra payments are desired, leave blank or enter a zero.
One-time extra payment:
If you would like to add an extra payment on a one-time, non-reoccurring basis, select the month and year of the one-time extra payment and then enter the amount on this line. If no one-time extra payment is desired, leave blank or enter a zero.
Note that you can add up to 5 one-time payments. Simply select the number of one-time payments you would like to make, and the calculator will display that number of one-time payment rows.
Include amortization schedule:
If you would like the results to include an amortization schedule, move the switch to the “Yes” position. Otherwise move the switch to the “No” position.
Current monthly principal and interest payment:
Based on your entries, this is the amount of your current monthly principal and interest (PI) mortgage payment. This does not include property tax or insurance payments.
Number of payments made:
Based on your entries, this is how many payments you have made from your first payment through last month. If the current month is the same as the first payment date you selected, the number of payments made should be zero.
Current mortgage payoff amount:
Based on your entries, this is how much you still owe (principal balance) on your home loan after deducting all of the principal payments you have already made. If the current month is the same as the first payment date you selected, the number of payments made should be zero.
Extra Payment Savings Chart:
After tapping the “Calculate Savings” button, the chart below will show the months remaining and the interest cost without making extra payments, with making the entered extra payments, and the difference between the two (savings).
