Making extra mortgage payments can save you tens of thousands in interest and years of payments. Example: 10,000,000 rupee mortgage at 12% for 20 years. Normal payment: 110,108/month, total interest: 16,425,920. Adding just 10,000 extra per month saves 3,823,000 in interest and pays off 4 years early!

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How much do extra payments really save?▼
Dramatically! On a 10 million rupee loan at 12% for 20 years: paying 10,000 extra per month saves about 3.8 million rupees in interest and cuts 4 years off the loan. The savings increase as you pay more. Even 5,000 extra saves about 2 million rupees.
Should I invest or pay off mortgage early?▼
Compare rates: if mortgage is 12% and investments return 8%, paying mortgage is better. If mortgage is 8% and investments return 12%, investing wins mathematically. But consider: mortgage payoff is guaranteed, investments are not. Many people prefer the peace of mind of owning their home outright.
What is a mortgage offset account?▼
An offset account links your savings to your mortgage. Balance in offset account reduces interest. Example: 10M mortgage, 1M in offset = interest charged on 9M only. This gives the effect of paying extra without actually reducing your mortgage balance. Popular in Sri Lanka and Australia.
Can I pay off my mortgage early without penalty?▼
Check your loan agreement. Some mortgages have early repayment charges (ERC), especially in the first few years. After the ERC period, most mortgages allow unlimited overpayments. In Sri Lanka, bank home loans often allow lump sum repayments — always verify with your bank.
What is biweekly payment and how does it help?▼
Paying half your monthly payment every two weeks = 26 half-payments = 13 full monthly payments per year instead of 12. One extra monthly payment per year reduces a 20-year mortgage by about 3-4 years. Our calculator lets you see the equivalent effect.
