Formula: Re-amortize with extra principal

About this calculator

Because mortgage loans are heavily front-loaded with interest in the early years of amortization, applying additional funds directly to the loan principal creates compounding interest savings over the life of the loan.

This tool models how an extra $100, $250, or $500 monthly payment, or an annual tax-refund lump sum, shortens a 30-year mortgage into a 20- or 15-year timeline, saving tens of thousands of dollars in cumulative interest.

How It Works & Formula

FormulaRe-amortize with extra monthly principal until balance = 0

Each monthly iteration applies regular interest against the remaining balance, deducts the scheduled principal payment, and deducts the extra principal payment. Amortization terminates as soon as the principal balance reaches zero.
