What difference does a payment schedule make?
Most mortgages have very flexible payment alternatives. Weekly,
bi-weekly, or monthly payments are most common. These choices also
have a great effect on the overall interest payments.
Consider the example of a $150,000 mortgage with
an interest rate of 6.20% over a 5 year term.
Payment Remaining
balance at end of term
Weekly $244.40
$129,285.80
Bi-weekly $488.81 $129,327.89
Monthly $977.61
$135,132.08
