With a Bi-Weekly mortgage plan, you make payments to your lender every two weeks instead of once a month (with each payment representing half of your monthly payment). This simple change can help reduce your mortgage term by adding adding the equivalent of one additional monthly payment per year and decrease the amount of interest paid by reducing your loan's outstanding balance earlier.
It is important to note that this will increase your number of payments from 24 per year to 26 per year, so you would need to plan accordingly. Use our calculator below to see how much you could save and help determine if a Bi-Weekly mortgage plan is right for your budget.
