Making fortnightly payments on your loan

The standard home loan structure usually involves making monthly repayments. However, did you know that making weekly or fortnightly repayments can actually save you money in the long run? This is because interest is calculated daily, so when you are making repayments sooner, the balance is smaller and therefore you are charged slightly less interest. Additionally, because there are only 12 months in a year, but 26 fortnights, you are essentially paying off one additional month every year by following a fortnightly schedule. 

While the difference might not seem large enough to warrant changing your payment schedule, you could be saving a considerable amount by paying off your loan sooner. To find out if fortnightly repayments are a possibility with your loan conditions, chat to Karen Derrett, your Mortgage Choice broker in Guyra. She will be able to explain all of the benefits, and help you decide whether more frequent payments will work for you and your loan.
