What Is Bi-Weekly Mortgage Calculator with Extra Payments?

Biweekly Mortgage Calculator is an Amortization Schedule where the payment is done bi-weekly. That is, the borrower will have to pay his due payment every two weeks. So, the lender will pay 26 times in a year when repaying his loan.

Now, if someone takes a loan for 30 years in bi-weekly payment frequency, he has to pay his due payment for (26*30)=780 times to repay the loan where both principal and accrued interest will be deducted accordingly every time.

Now, the borrower somehow may earn more than before when repaying his loan. Then he might try for an early settlement of his loan, that is he might finish the loan within 25 years by making some extra payments. In this regard, he might make extra regular payments or irregular payments.

For regular payments, he will pay a certain amount after a certain period along with his primarily fixed due payment. In irregular payments, he might pay any amount from his remaining balance at any period. Both of these extra payments will help him to pay off his loan earlier than the initial deadline which will save him some extra interest.

What Is Accelerated Bi-weekly Payment?

Accelerated Biweekly payment is a lot like bi-weekly payment as it is also done every two weeks. But in this case, it is assumed that every month consists of four weeks. So, to calculate accelerated biweekly payment, monthly payment is calculated with monthly interest rate and all necessary calculations based on monthly payment frequency. Then, the monthly due payment is divided by two to get the accelerated bi-weekly payment. So, this payment is a bit more than the equivalent bi-weekly payment.

  • When calculating Accelerated Bi-weekly payments, the payment is calculated through a monthly interest rate. But, in the amortization table, when calculating the interest paid, the interest rate is taken as the normal bi-weekly interest rate.

  5. Hi – I love what you built here…. thank you. Ive been trying to use your calculator and can never get the math quite right and I realized why. Its because in your formula, I am literally paying every 2 weeks, however Im with Chase, and they just hold my first payment, and dont apply it till they receive my second payment. Ive tried hacking what you build but I break it every time. Any chance you can show me a version where the bank only receives my money every 4 weeks, not every 2. Thanks in advance. -Jon

  6. Thank you this was very helpful and user friendly!!!
