How this calculator works

Most UK lenders allow you to overpay by up to 10% of your outstanding balance per year without incurring Early Repayment Charges (ERCs). Within this limit, overpayments are a powerful way to reduce your total interest bill.

Because mortgage interest in the UK is calculated daily on your outstanding balance, reducing your balance faster through overpayments has an immediate impact on the interest you're charged each month.

Even modest overpayments add up significantly over a 25-year term. If you're on a fixed rate, check with your lender before overpaying above the 10% threshold, as ERCs can be substantial.
