Mortgage Payoff Calculator formula
Each month, interest equals the opening balance × annual rate ÷ 12. The regular payment and any extra principal reduce the balance. Interest saved equals baseline interest minus accelerated-schedule interest.
If the current principal-and-interest payment is unknown, leave it blank and the calculator will estimate the scheduled payment from the balance, rate, and remaining term.
Assumptions and limitations
- Extra amounts are applied directly to principal without a prepayment penalty or processing delay.
- The annual rate and regular principal-and-interest payment remain fixed.
- Escrowed property tax, insurance, HOA fees, and other charges do not reduce principal and are excluded.
- Confirm with the loan servicer how to designate extra principal and whether any restrictions apply.
Worked example
Example: adding $200 per month and a $5,000 payment
Consider a $250,000 mortgage balance at 5% with 25 years remaining. The baseline schedule uses the regular principal-and-interest payment for the remaining term.
Adding $200 each month plus a $5,000 one-time principal payment produces an earlier payoff date. The result compares both schedules so the months and interest saved are visible before making a decision.
Frequently asked questions
Should I enter my current mortgage payment?
Enter only the principal-and-interest portion when you know it. Leave the field blank to estimate it from the current balance, annual rate, and remaining term.
How is a one-time payment scheduled?
The extra amount is applied to the first scheduled monthly payment on or after the selected date.
Can a lender handle extra payments differently?
Yes. Confirm that the servicer applies the extra amount to principal and ask about prepayment penalties, minimums, or special instructions.
