“Saving a $100k in interest!”
“We were looking at 14 years on our mortgage it went down to four years. We're gonna go ahead and probably pay off a loan within the next, 90 days or so. We'll probably end up saving a hundred thousand dollars in interest!”
Lynn Markham — Business Owner ★★★★★

How it works

Instead of one monthly payment, you pay half the monthly amount every two weeks. That adds up to 26 half-payments per year — the equivalent of 13 full monthly payments instead of 12. The extra payment goes straight to principal.

Assumptions

26 half-payments per year, periodic rate = annual rate / 26, adjusted final payment. Illustration assumes each half-payment is credited when made; actual lender crediting practices vary — some servicers hold partial payments until a full payment accumulates, and some charge enrollment fees.
