When you set up your mortgage payment repayment plan, you can choose between a standard repayment plan or a fortnightly repayment plan. With the standard plan, it would take you 30 years to repay the loan while a fortnightly plan will take 25 years and 7 months. This will save you 4 years and 5 months. But, the savings doesn't end there.
If you took out a $250,000.00 loan with an interest rate of 5.000%, you can expect to pay $1,334.23 per month, while a fortnightly payment plan will call for a payment of $667.11 every other week. As a result, you will pay only $192,341.26 in interest with the fotnightly schedule rather than $230,321.61 with the standard payment plan. This means that you will save a total of $37,980.35 with the fortnightly plan.
