Illustration only — assumes the rate stays constant for the whole term, which real deals don't. Check your lender's overpayment limits and early repayment charges before overpaying.

Assumptions and method

  • Standard repayment-mortgage amortisation with monthly compounding; the rate you enter applies for the full term.
  • Overpayments are applied monthly on top of the standard payment, shortening the term. Many deals cap penalty-free overpayments (commonly 10% of balance per year).
  • Fees (arrangement, valuation, legal) are excluded — include them when comparing real deals.

New to the vocabulary? Read mortgages explained. Whether overpaying beats investing the same money is a personal question — see the FAQ in that guide for why.

Reminder: this tool is general education, not mortgage advice or a personal recommendation. Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage. Mortgage advice is a regulated activity — find an FCA-authorised broker or adviser via our toolkit.
