There's a trick to reduce the repayment period of your mortgage and save you thousands over the course of your loan: Make additional payments which go to your loan principal. Borrowers can pay against principal in many different ways. Paying a single extra full payment one time a year may be the simplest to keep track of. However, many people won't be able to afford this huge additional expense, so dividing an additional payment into twelve additional monthly payments works as well. Another popular option is to pay a half payment every other week. The result is you will make one additional monthly payment in a year. These options differ slightly in lowering the total interest paid and shortening payback length, but they will all significantly reduce the length of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.

Additional One-time payment

It may not be possible for you to pay extra every month or even every year. But remember that most mortgage contracts will allow you to make additional payments at any time. You can take advantage of this provision to pay down your principal when you get some extra money. Here's an example: several years after moving into your home, you receive a very large tax refund,a large legacy, or a non-taxable cash gift; , you could pay a portion of this money toward your loan principal, which would result in significant savings and a shortened loan period. Unless the mortgage loan is quite large, even a few thousand dollars applied early in the loan period can yield huge savings over the life of the loan.
