Understanding Mortgage Amortization

Mortgage amortization is the gradual repayment process of your home loan over time. It includes two commonly used payment types: monthly and bi-weekly (accelerated).

Monthly Payments vs. Bi-Weekly Payments (Accelerated)

Monthly Payments (12 payments per year)

Monthly payments are made once a month, 12 times a year. Each payment covers a portion of the interest and a portion of the principal.

Bi-Weekly Payments (Accelerated, 26 payments per year)

Bi-weekly payments are an accelerated repayment method. Instead of making 12 payments per year, you make 26, or one payment every two weeks. These more frequent payments help reduce the principal of your mortgage loan more quickly.

Potential Savings with Accelerated Payments

By opting for bi-weekly payments, you can realize significant savings on interest over the long term. By paying more frequently, a larger portion of each payment is allocated to the principal rather than interest.

Principal Paid

The principal paid represents the portion of your payment used to repay the initial borrowed amount. By reducing the principal more quickly, you decrease the total amount of interest paid over the term of your loan.
