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 $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.
