Question 1

Should I pay off my mortgage or invest?

Accepted Answer

It depends on your rate versus expected investment returns, emergency fund, and risk tolerance. This calculator quantifies interest savings; compare that to alternative uses of cash.

Question 2

Do lenders charge prepayment penalties?

Accepted Answer

Some loans include prepayment clauses. Check your note before assuming unlimited extra payments without fees.

Question 3

Does this account for escrow or PMI?

Accepted Answer

Escrow and PMI are not modeled here. Focus on principal-and-interest portions when entering your base payment.
