By adding $74.70 to your 20 year loan you can save $16,662.42 and payrepparttar loan off in 16 1/2 years.

By adding $101.07 to your 15 year loan you can save $11,271.73 and payrepparttar 110351 loan off in 12 1/2 years.

You can also see byrepparttar 110352 chart that obtaining a shorter loan term when you buy your house can save a lot of money.

There are a couple of things that you need to check. First is that your loan agreement doesn't allowrepparttar 110353 loan company to charge penalties for early payment. Secondly, if you itemize your federal income taxes and deduct mortgage interest, paying less interest will mean a lower deduction. I believe it is safe to say thatrepparttar 110354 interest savings will far outweighrepparttar 110355 tax savings.

Even if you don't have $75 to $100 a month to add to your mortgage payment, even $25 would save a lot.
