How to Pay Off Your Mortgage Early
Mortgages are front-loaded with interest. By making additional payments, you attack the principal balance directly, drastically reducing the total cost.
1Monthly Extra Payments vs Lump Sum
Even adding $100 extra to your monthly payment can shave years off your term. Alternatively, applying an annual work bonus as a lump sum has a massive compounding effect.
2The French System Advantage
Under the standard French amortization system, the interest portion of your monthly payment decreases over time. Overpaying early in the term yields the highest return on your cash.
