There's a trick to reduce the repayment period of your mortgage and save thousands of dollars in interest: Make extra payments which apply toward your loan principal. Borrowers employ various techniques to accomplish this goal. Making a single extra payment once every year is probably the easiest to arrange. If you can't afford to pay an additional whole payment in one month, you can divide that payment by 12 and pay that additional amount monthly. Finally, you can commit to paying a half payment every other week. These options differ slightly in lowering the total interest paid and reducing payback length, but they will all significantly shorten the length of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.

Lump Sum Extra Payment

Some people just can't make any extra payments. But you should remember that most mortgage contracts will allow additional principal payments at any time. Whenever you get some extra money, you can use this rule to pay an additional one-time payment on your mortgage principal. If, for example, you receive a very large gift or tax refund four years into your mortgage, you could pay this money toward your mortgage loan principal, which would result in enormous savings and a shortened loan period. Unless the loan is very large, even small amounts applied early can yield huge savings over the life of the loan.
