Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between this and the extra-payment-savings tool?+

This tool models a single large one-time payment — like a bonus or inheritance — applied at a specific point in the loan, while extra-payment-savings is built around smaller recurring additions.

How much interest do I actually save with a lump sum?+

The savings equal the interest that would have accrued on that amount for every remaining period of the original schedule. Paying a lump sum earlier in the loan saves more than paying the same amount later, since more periods of interest are avoided.

Does the lump sum shorten the loan or reduce future payments?+

By default it shortens the remaining term while keeping the payment amount the same. Some lenders can instead re-amortize to lower your payment at the same term — check which option your loan allows.

Is it better to put a windfall toward the mortgage or invest it?+
