    What it is

    A mortgage overpayment is any amount you pay on top of your required monthly installment. Because the extra payment reduces the outstanding principal straight away, you pay interest on a smaller balance for the rest of the loan.

    This calculator compares your mortgage with and without an overpayment so you can see exactly how much interest you save and how much sooner you become mortgage-free.

    How the math works

    How overpayment works
    Each month your installment covers interest on the current balance first; the rest reduces the principal. An overpayment goes entirely to principal, shrinking future interest.
    Decrease term vs decrease installment
    Keep paying the same amount and you finish years earlier (shorten the term). Or keep the term and recalculate to a lower installment — same overpayment, different benefit.
    Interest savings
    Interest saved = total interest without overpayment − total interest with it. The earlier and more consistently you overpay, the larger the saving.
    When NOT to overpay
    If your mortgage rate is below what you could safely earn investing, or you have higher-interest debt or no emergency fund, that money may work harder elsewhere.

    Assumptions & caveats

    • A single fixed interest rate is assumed for the whole term; real mortgages often have introductory or variable rates.
    • No arrangement fees, product fees, or early-repayment charges are modelled.
    • Check your lender's annual overpayment limit (often 10% of the balance) before committing — exceeding it can trigger penalties.
    • Figures are estimates for comparison, not a formal mortgage illustration.

    Frequently asked questions

    Usually yes when your mortgage rate is relatively high and you have no higher-interest debt and a healthy emergency fund. Overpayments give a guaranteed, tax-free return equal to your mortgage rate by avoiding future interest.

    Both reduce interest; a lump sum early on saves the most because it removes principal sooner. Regular monthly overpayments are easier to budget and still compound their benefit over time.

    Compare your mortgage rate to your expected after-tax investment return. If investments are likely to beat your mortgage rate over your time horizon, investing may build more wealth — but overpaying is lower risk and guaranteed.

    Many lenders allow penalty-free overpayments up to a yearly cap (commonly 10% of the outstanding balance). Going over the cap, or overpaying during a fixed-rate deal, can incur early-repayment charges, so always check your terms first.
