Biweekly or monthly mortgage payments- what’s better?
If you pay your mortgage monthly (as most homeowners do), that equals 12 payments a year. So, if you start making biweekly payments, you will pay half your normal monthly mortgage amount once every two weeks. Since there are 52 weeks in a year, this works out to 26 payments (or essentially 13 monthly payments).
By paying 13 monthly payments over a 12-month time period, you’ll ultimately pay less total interest on your home loan and will lower your principal balance at a faster pace than if you just stuck with the traditional 12 payments a year.
