Consider the following example:

Home Loan Amount  $400,000
Interest Rate  5.3%
Loan Term (Years)  25
Monthly Repayments  $2,409

If you can pay an extra $500 per month (or total monthly repayments of $2,909), you can save $105,600 in interest and cut 7 years and 3 months off your home loan.

If you can pay an extra $1,000 per month (or total monthly repayments of $3,409), you can save $157,700 in interest and cut 11 years and 2 months off your home loan.

Making extra mortgage repayments is a guaranteed way to reduce debt and create wealth.
