Mortgage Payment Calculator with Extra Payments
This calculator estimates your scheduled mortgage payment and the impact of additional payments. Enter the loan amount, interest rate, term, and any extra payments you plan to make. The tool reports the scheduled monthly payment, an adjusted monthly payment reflecting extra contributions, the estimated time to pay off the loan, and approximate interest saved.
The calculator treats yearly extras as divided evenly across months and spreads a one-time extra evenly across the remaining term for an approximate impact. See methodology and accuracy notes for details and limitations.

Methodology
Core formula: standard fixed-rate amortization where monthly rate r = annual_interest_rate / 12 / 100 and scheduled payment P = r*L / (1 - (1+r)^-n) with L = principal and n = term_years * 12.
Extra payments are converted to a monthly equivalent: monthly extras are added directly; yearly lump sums are divided by 12; one-time extras are distributed across remaining months as an approximation. The calculator then estimates payoff months by solving the closed-form amortization relation for n: n = -ln(1 - r*L / P_extra) / ln(1 + r), where P_extra is the monthly payment including extras.

Expert Q&A
Are extra payments applied directly to principal?
This calculator models extra payments as additional amounts that reduce outstanding principal and thus shorten the amortization period. The one-time extra is approximated by spreading its effect across remaining months; if your servicer applies a one-time extra in a different way, actual payoff may differ.
Can I model irregular extra payments?
This tool supports monthly extras, yearly lump-sum extras (converted to monthly equivalents), and a single one-time extra. For irregular or advanced schedules (biweekly, variable timing, changing rates, or recast scenarios), use an amortization schedule tool or consult a loan servicing statement.
How accurate are the payoff and interest saved estimates?
Estimates use closed-form amortization formulas and make approximations for converting non-monthly extras. They are generally accurate for fixed-rate loans with extras applied regularly. Accuracy may degrade if interest is compounded differently, if fees or escrow changes apply, or if the servicer applies extra payments with specific allocation rules. See the methodology section for limitations.
What if the calculated monthly payment with extras is less than monthly interest?
If the monthly payment including extras does not cover the monthly interest (r * loan_amount), the amortization formula is invalid and the tool cannot produce a meaningful payoff time. In such cases, increase payment amounts or contact your loan servicer.
