Frequently Asked Questions
How does accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payment work?
With accelerated bi-weekly payments, you take your regular monthly EMI, divide it by 2, and pay that half-amount every 2 weeks. Because there are 52 weeks (26 two-week periods) in a year, you end up making 26 half-payments (equal to 13 full monthly payments) each year. That extra month's payment directly attacks your loan principal!
What is the difference between standard bi-weekly and accelerated bi-weekly?
Standard bi-weekly: Multiplies your monthly payment by 12 and divides by 26 (you pay the same total annual amount, just split into 26 installments). Accelerated bi-weekly: Takes your monthly payment and divides directly by 2 (you make 1 extra full payment per year, cutting 4–6 years off a 30-year mortgage).
Does my bank need to support bi-weekly payments?
If your bank doesn't offer an official bi-weekly payment plan, you can achieve the exact same financial result by adding 1/12th (~8.33%) of your monthly payment as an extra principal prepayment each month.
