Why Paying 1 Extra EMI Every Year Works So Effortlessly

Rather than restructuring your entire household budget, making one additional monthly payment each year drops 100% onto your unpaid principal balance. You can implement this either by directing an annual bonus toward principal—modeled in our Lump Sum Prepayment Calculator—or dividing one payment by 12 and adding ~8.33% monthly via our Extra Repayments Calculator.

Test multiple extra EMIs per year with our Extra EMI Multiplier Tool, compare housing-specific options in the Home Loan Extra EMI Calculator, or benchmark against 26 annual half-payments in our Bi-Weekly Mortgage Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the '1 Extra EMI Per Year' strategy?

The strategy involves making 13 monthly payments instead of the required 12 payments every year. That single extra monthly payment goes 100% towards your loan principal—explore housing-specific scenarios in our Home Loan Extra EMI Calculator or Extra EMI Prepayment Tool.

How much time and interest does 1 extra EMI save?

On a standard 30-year mortgage at 6.5% to 7.5%, making 1 extra payment every year cuts between 4 to 7 years off your loan and saves between $45,000 to $85,000 in interest! Check exact return on investment via our Prepayment Savings & ROI Calculator.

How should I structure the 1 extra EMI payment?

You can either: 1) Pay a double EMI in December/January when receiving a bonus via our Lump Sum Prepayment Calculator, or 2) Switch to 26 half-payments per year in the Bi-Weekly Mortgage Calculator.
