How this overpayment calculator works
Our mortgage overpayment calculator is very simple to use. All you need to do is input the following details:
- The amount you owe on your mortgage
- Remaining loan term
- Current interest rate on your existing mortgage deal
- The amount you wish to overpay by – either monthly and/or a lump sum
And that’s it! Our calculator will then show you your new monthly mortgage repayment (if increasing), how this could alter the loan term and the potential interest you could save.
If you’re not sure exactly how much you may wish to overpay by, you can just alter the figures for those amounts to see a range of different outcomes until you see one that best fits.

FAQs
Yes, it’s possible but the key difference between an interest-only mortgage and capital and repayment is that the amount you owe will never reduce, so, in effect, overpaying only the interest amount won’t really change a great deal in terms of your mortgage.
To still achieve the key benefits of reducing your term and/or the interest you pay overall, you should review your repayment vehicle and assess whether you can overpay in order to reach the target amount sooner and repay the capital owed.
