Frequently Asked Questions
What is a prepayment penalty fee?
A prepayment penalty is a fee charged by a bank or lender if you pay off all or part of your loan before the scheduled maturity date. It compensates the lender for the future interest income they lose.
Is it still worth prepaying if my bank charges a 2% penalty?
Almost always, yes! A 2% penalty on a $100,000 balance is $2,000. But prepaying that $100,000 at 7.5% over 15 remaining years saves more than $60,000 in interest. Your net financial gain is $58,000!
