How to pay off a 30 year mortgage in 15 years

The Daily Coffee Reality Check

This is our special market-gap tool. Does buying a $5 coffee really matter? Yes! By clicking the "Coffee Strategy" switch on our calculator, we add $150 to your extra monthly payment. Watch in shock as skipping a simple daily coffee literally shaves 4 to 5 years off your entire mortgage and saves you tens of thousands of dollars.

The 13th Payment Strategy

What if you make one extra payment a year? This is known as the bi-weekly payment strategy. By turning this switch on, our calculator automatically takes your monthly payment, divides it by 12, and adds it to your overpayment. You won't even feel the money leaving your bank, but it destroys the bank's interest charges.

Does making one extra mortgage payment a year help?

Yes, it helps massively. Because home loans are usually 30 years long, the banks charge you insane amounts of compound interest. By making just one extra payment a year, all of that money goes straight to the principal (the actual house). This single strategy usually cuts 4 to 6 years off your loan entirely!

Should you overpay your mortgage or invest?

This is the big question. Overpaying your home loan gives you a 100% guaranteed return equal to your interest rate (e.g. 6.5%). Investing in the stock market might give you 8% to 10%, but it is risky. Most experts suggest a mix of both: make a small overpayment for peace of mind, and invest the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you pay an extra $200 a month on a standard 30-year home loan, you will usually pay off your entire house 5 to 7 years early. More importantly, you will literally save tens of thousands of dollars in pure interest that would have gone to the bank. Enter your numbers in the calculator above to see the exact math!

Yes! Making one extra payment per year acts like a secret weapon. Because this extra payment goes 100% toward the principal balance of the house, it stops the bank from charging you interest on that money for the next 20+ years.

In most modern loans, there are no prepayment penalties. However, you should always check your specific loan contract. Sometimes banks limit how much you can overpay per year (for example, maximum 10% of the loan amount per year) without a fee.
