A mortgage overpayment is when you pay more than your required monthly mortgage payment. The extra amount goes directly toward reducing the principal balance, which lowers the interest charged over time.

See how extra payments can shrink your mortgage interest and shorten your loan term.
A Mortgage Overpayment Calculator helps homeowners understand how making extra payments on their mortgage can reduce the total interest paid and shorten the loan term. By entering key details such as loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and overpayment amount, the calculator shows how additional payments impact your mortgage balance over time.
Here's how it works:
- Monthly payments are fixed for the term of the loan.
- Early payments mostly cover interest.
- Later payments mainly reduce the capital.
- By the end of the term, the loan is fully repaid, including all interest.
Lenders calculate payments using the loan amount, the interest rate, and the loan term. For example, a £10,000 loan at 6% over 3 years gives a fixed monthly payment that gradually shifts from paying interest to paying off the capital.
