In a bi-weekly mortgage payment module, you are making a one-half payment every fourteen days.
Now you must be wondering what is the difference between making two half payments every two weeks and twice a month.
If you are making bi-weekly mortgage payments over the course of the year, you are making a total of twenty-six half payments which means you are making thirteen full payments a year.
That is where the benefit comes to you. The way this breaks down is since there are fifty-two weeks in a year, using a bi-weekly payment method, would result in you making one extra mortgage payment every single year.
Over the years that one additional payment would add up and save you a massive amount of money and potentially help you pay off your mortgage faster.
Potentially because over the course of your loan you might refinance and might reset the payment schedule.
Adding to the bi-weekly module of payment if you are able to squeeze in some extra payment, it would really help you to save a great deal of money and also reduce your loan tenure furthermore.
On average if you pay a hundred dollars extra towards your mortgage every month, you can cut down your 30 years mortgage by up to 6 years approximately.
