When it comes to a home mortgage loan, you can actually pay off the loan much more quickly and save a great deal of money by simply paying a little extra each month. If you take out a 30 year loan for $350,000.00 with a 6.500% interest rate, for example, your monthly payment (interest and principal only) will be $2,212.24. By the time the 30 year time period is complete, you will have paid $796,393.79 for your home. If you pay just $50.00 more each month, you will pay only $762,312.49 toward your home. This is a savings of $34,081.30. In addition, you will get the loan paid off 1 Years 11 Months sooner than if you paid only your regular monthly payment.
