What is additional principal payment?

The additional principal payment is extra payments that a borrower pays to reduce the principal of his loan balance. To understand additional principal payments, we first need to learn how a loan amortization schedule works. When a borrower applies for a loan, he gets a lump sum from the lender. The borrower is expected to pay back the lender in monthly payments. The monthly payment consists of principal and interest payments. On a fixed-interest loan, the monthly payments remain the same throughout the loan. However, the principal and interest amount change as time progresses. The interest payment is basically recalculated each month based on the loan balance. When a borrower makes additional principal payments to reduce the balance, he is essentially reducing interest payments on his loan. Depending on the size of the loan and the extra payments, and the number of additional payments the borrower makes, he could pay off his loan much earlier than the original term.

Benefits of paying extra on a mortgage?

The main benefit of paying extra on a home mortgage or personal loan is saving money. When a borrower consistently makes additional payments, he could save thousands of dollars on his loan. Let's take a look at an example of how much extra payments can save on a loan of $150,000 with an interest rate of 5.5% and a 10-year term. Loan Amount: $150,000 Interest Rate: 5.5% Term: = 10 year Following are the payment details for this loan. Monthly Payment: $1,627.89 Total Interest: $45,347.30 Total Payment: $195,347.30 Pay Off: 10 Years On this loan, the borrower would pay $45,347.30 in interest payment after 10 years of payment. Let's see how much he can save if he makes an additional payment of $300 each month which is about 18% more than the original monthly payment of $1,627.89. Extra Payment: $300 New Monthly Payment: $1,927.89 Total Interest: $35,923.95 Total Payment: $185,923.95 Pay Off: 8 Years As we can see by making an extra payment of $300 each month, the borrower saves about $9,423.35 in interest payment, and he pays off his loan in 8 years instead of 10.
