Mortgage payoff calculator
See how much faster this mortgage could be gone. Extra monthly, annual, and lump-sum events stay in the browser. Nothing is stored on Runaway Finance.
How this calculator works. The page amortizes month by month in your browser. Quick extra, a freedom-date solver, and named strategies share one event engine. Timing, pauses, and paycheck extras are the same simulation — not a separate calculator.
Limitations. Educational estimate only. It is not a servicer payoff quote. Extra payments are applied to principal and do not recast the scheduled payment. Lender rules can forbid some extras you model. Last reviewed September 2026.

Balance, rate, and the payment you make now
First result is instant. Use the remaining term, or switch to the principal-and-interest amount on your statement.
Scheduled P&I is $2,149. First payment month is October 2026.
Quick extra
Recurring extra to principal, starting now. Time reclaimed updates as you tap.
▶Freedom date — what extra hits a date you choose
Pick the month you want to be mortgage-free. The solver finds the extra monthly principal that gets there.
▶Strategy builder — monthly, annual, lumps, pauses
A strategy is a named pile of payment events, not a separate calculator. Compare up to three beside the baseline and the quick extra.
Monthly extra
▶Timing lab and lender rules
The timing lab spends the same annual extra as monthly, quarterly, January, or December cash. Caps only flag a strategy — they do not change the math.
Time reclaimed
The current path matches the original payoff date.
New payoff September 2056 versus September 2056. Interest avoided $0.

Baseline versus accelerated balance
The pine line is the selected path. Gold is the loan with no extras.
Freedom date
To be mortgage-free in October 2041, this loan needs about $803 extra each month — a total P&I of $2,952.
Feasible extras and the dates they buy
Lower extras still move the date. The required freedom extra is marked when the solver found one.

Timing laboratory
The same annual cash, applied monthly, quarterly, in January, or in December. Early extra usually saves more interest — unless the loan starts late in the year.
Monthly
3000 a year as 250.00 every month.
Payoff April 2049 · 7 years 5 months sooner · interest avoided $125,447
Quarterly
750 in the first month of each quarter.
Payoff March 2049 · 7 years 6 months sooner · interest avoided $126,273
Early-year
The whole 3000 in January.

Payoff February 2049 · 7 years 7 months sooner · interest avoided $128,320
Temporary acceleration
The same extra for 2, 5, or 10 years, then back to the scheduled payment. This is not a forever habit.

Assumptions and lender limits
- Fixed-rate, monthly amortization. Extra amounts are applied to principal in the month they fall.
- A lump sum does not recast the scheduled payment. Faster payoff, same note payment, unless you ask the servicer.
- Biweekly and weekly extras are actual paydays from the first of the start month, not a “biweekly mortgage” toggle that quietly adds a thirteenth payment.
- Lender and servicer rules differ. Caps you type only flag a strategy; they do not block the simulation.
- Results are estimates from the numbers you entered. They are not a payoff quote or advice.
