Got a Juicy Tax Return This Year? Here's How to Make It Work for You

Getting a substantial tax return can feel like winning the lottery. While it’s tempting to splurge on a vacation or a shopping spree, consider a more strategic move: putting that extra cash towards your mortgage. Making a lump sum payment on your mortgage can save you significant money over time and help you achieve your financial goals faster.

How Does It Work?

When you make a lump sum payment, you reduce your loan balance. This reduction means less interest accrues on your remaining loan amount. As a result, a larger portion of your regular mortgage payments goes directly towards the principal, not the interest. This shift can not only reduce the overall interest you pay but also potentially shorten your loan term.

The Benefits

• Interest Savings: Paying down your mortgage principal reduces the amount of interest you’ll pay over the life of the loan. The more you reduce your principal, the more you save.
• Shortened Loan Term: By reducing the principal balance, you can pay off your mortgage faster, freeing up your finances for other investments or savings goals.
• Increased Equity: Every lump sum payment increases your home equity, giving you more financial security and flexibility for future financial decisions.
