There's a simple trick to significantly reduce the length of your mortgage and save you thousands of dollars over the course of your loan: Make additional payments that apply to the principal. Borrowers make this happen in a few ways. Making a single additional full payment once every year is perhaps the simplest to keep track of. Of course, many people will not be able to swing this huge extra expense, so splitting one extra payment into 12 additional monthly payments is a fine option too. Another very popular option is to pay half of your payment every other week. The result is you will make one additional monthly payment in a year. These options differ a little in reducing the final payback amount and reducing payback length, but each will significantly shorten the length of your mortgage and lower your total interest paid.

Additional One-time payment

It may not be possible for you to pay more every month or even every year. Keep in mind that almost all mortgage contracts will allow you to pay extra on your principal at any time. You can take advantage of this rule to pay down your principal any time you get some extra money. If, for example, you were to receive a large gift or tax refund just a few years into your mortgage, paying a few thousand dollars into your home's principal will significantly reduce the repayment duration of your loan and save a huge amount on interest paid over the duration of the loan. For most loans, even this relatively modest amount, paid early enough in the mortgage, could offer huge savings in interest and duration of the loan.
