Could paying every paycheck get me out of debt sooner?
Compare your current monthly payment with twice-monthly and true biweekly schedules. See the payment per paycheck, estimated payoff date, interest, and exactly where any savings come from.
Twice monthlyHalf on two fixed dates each month: 24 half-payments annually.
True biweeklyHalf every 14 days: 26 half-payments, equal to 13 monthly payments annually.
Compare the same loan across payment schedules. Adjust the monthly payment or extra per paycheck, review the annual commitment, then save.
—
Ask the lender whether partial payments are credited immediately and whether extra money is applied to principal. A servicer may hold partial payments until they equal one full payment, or place an account into paid-ahead status. If that happens, changing the dates alone may not create the modeled savings.
