Enter your figures below. The calculator updates as you type.

The results are illustrative only and are not advice. They assume your rate stays the same for the whole term and that overpayments are applied exactly as you enter them. In practice, criteria and deals vary, and your lender’s terms decide what is possible — always check your mortgage terms or get a specific quote from your lender before acting on any figure here.

This calculator needs JavaScript to show results. The figures it produces are always illustrative only and are not advice — see the assumptions listed below the calculator.

Important — check your mortgage terms before overpaying

Many deals limit penalty-free overpayments to 10% of the outstanding balance a year, and paying more than your allowance could trigger an Early Repayment Charge. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage.

If you are unsure what your deal allows, get in touch with our team and we’ll talk it through.

Assumptions behind the calculator

The calculator is a ready reckoner. Results rely on these assumptions:

  • Your interest rate stays the same for the whole remaining term. In reality, rates change when a deal ends, and a new deal may have a different rate.
  • Overpayments are applied exactly as entered, with no charge, and your lender accepts them in full.
  • The calculation keeps your payment the same and shortens the term. Some lenders instead reduce the monthly payment, and some offer both options — check which applies to yours.
  • No fees, insurance, tax or rate changes are modelled.
  • Results are rounded and for illustration only; they are not a quote, a prediction or advice. Always get a specific quote from your lender before making decisions.

HOW IT WORKS

How overpayments work

Overpaying means paying more than your required monthly payment, either regularly or as a one-off lump sum. Because interest is charged on your outstanding balance, a smaller balance means less interest, and the effect compounds over the years that remain.

Many deals let you overpay up to 10% of your balance each year without a charge, but it varies between lenders and products, so check your own terms first.

YOUR OPTIONS

Two ways to overpay

01

EVERY MONTH

Regular monthly overpayments

Even £50 or £100 extra a month can shorten your term and reduce the interest you pay, depending on your balance and rate.

  • A fixed amount on top of your payment
  • Builds up steadily over time
  • Check your lender’s yearly allowance

02

ONE-OFF

Lump sums

A bonus, inheritance or savings can be applied as a one-off reduction to your balance.

  • Reduces your balance in one go
  • Keep enough savings for emergencies
  • Watch for Early Repayment Charges
Illustrative example only

On a £150,000 balance, 25 years remaining and a 4.5% rate, the monthly payment would be about £833. Adding £100 a month could shorten the term by roughly three years and save several thousand pounds in interest, depending on the exact figures. These are round-figure illustrations of the maths, not a quote or a prediction — the calculator above works on your own numbers.

BEFORE YOU OVERPAY

Before you overpay, it is worth checking

01

Your overpayment allowance

Many deals allow 10% of the outstanding balance a year penalty-free, but the allowance varies by deal, and some allow more.

02

Early Repayment Charges

Paying above your allowance could trigger a charge; the terms are in your mortgage offer documents.

03

Your emergency fund

Overpayments are hard to get back, so accessible savings usually come first.

04

More expensive debts

Credit cards and loans usually charge more than a mortgage, so clearing them first often makes sense.

05

Your rate

The lower your rate, the smaller the interest saving from overpaying.

WORTH KNOWING

When overpaying may not be the best use of money

Overpaying is not automatically the right call. Money paid into your mortgage is effectively locked into your home — getting it back generally means remortgaging or a further advance, subject to lender agreement. It can make sense to keep accessible savings for emergencies first, to clear more expensive debt first, or to take advice before committing a large lump sum. The right answer depends on your circumstances.

If your deal is ending soon, compare whether overpaying, a product transfer or a remortgage does more for you: our guide on product transfer or remortgage sets out the trade-offs.
