How to calculate your mortgage overpayments
It will be quite tricky, if not impossible, to work out how making overpayments will alter your mortgage loan on your own.
So, here are three simple steps to make this process much easier:
Work out exactly how much you can comfortably afford to overpay – whether as an increase to your monthly repayments or as a lump sum. If you’re looking to increase monthly repayments, be sure to review all of your outgoings so you can be confident the new amount is affordable

How this overpayment calculator works
Our mortgage overpayment calculator is very simple to use.
All you need to do is input the following details:
- The amount you owe on your mortgage
- Remaining loan term
- The current interest rate on your existing mortgage deal
- The amount you wish to overpay by – either monthly and/or a lump sum
And that’s it! Our calculator will then show you your new monthly mortgage repayment (if increasing), how this could alter the loan term and the potential interest you could save.
If you’re not sure exactly how much you may wish to overpay, you can alter the figures for those amounts to see a range of different outcomes until you find one that best fits.
What you should do next
Before making overpayments on your mortgage, it’s essential to check with your lender to understand their terms:
- Early repayment charges (ERCs): Some lenders limit how much you can overpay annually without penalties.
- Overpayment flexibility: Not all mortgages allow overpayments, or they may have specific restrictions.
- How payments are applied: Some lenders reduce future payments rather than shortening the loan term.
If early repayment charges apply, or if you’re unsure how much you can overpay, it’s important to carefully evaluate your options. Overpaying isn’t always the best strategy—remortgaging or an offset mortgage could save you more in the long run.
Using our broker-matching service, we can connect you with a mortgage expert who can review your options and confirm the best course of action for your situation.
If you contact us or call us on 0330 818 7026, we’ll ensure that an advisor with experience handling these types of requests contacts you immediately.
FAQs
Yes, it’s possible, but the key difference between an interest-only mortgage and capital and repayment is that the amount you owe will never reduce, so, in effect, overpaying only the interest amount won’t change a great deal in terms of your mortgage.
To still achieve the key benefits of reducing your term and/or the interest you pay overall, you should review your repayment vehicle and assess whether you can overpay to reach the target amount sooner and repay the capital owed.
