Mortgage Payoff Accelerator: how it works

Runs your loan's amortization schedule twice — once as-is and once with your extra payments (biweekly paying adds roughly one extra monthly payment per year) — and compares total interest and payoff dates.

Step by step

  1. Each month: interest accrues on the balance, then your payment plus any extra reduces it.
  2. Interest saved is the difference between the two schedules' total interest.

The math

Standard amortization (public domain); biweekly ≈ payment × 13/12 monthly equivalent.
