Increase Your Payment Frequency
"Accelerating" your mortgage payments is a good way to shorten the total mortgage repayment period.
For example, if you choose accelerated weekly payments, your weekly payment is calculated as a monthly payment divided by four. Over a year, that is equivalent to adding an additional monthly payment.
Example: $100,000 mortgage @ 8% per annum* and 25 year amortization**
