“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

After a year of normal payments, you put $25,000 toward principal in one lump. A formal recast would lower your required payment — but here you keep paying the original amount, so the difference attacks principal every month after.

Assumptions

$25,000 applied to principal with the 12th payment; borrower keeps paying the original monthly amount. A standard recast lowers the required payment instead — this illustration keeps the payment unchanged to maximize acceleration. Lenders may charge a recast fee.
