Repayment & Debt Strategy Guide

Optimizing Debt Repayments: Compounding & Payment Frequency

Whether repaying a mortgage, auto loan, or student debt, small adjustments to your repayment frequency and installment amounts create profound compound interest savings.

Bi-Weekly Accelerated Payments

Switching from monthly to bi-weekly payments results in 26 half-payments per year (the equivalent of 13 full monthly payments), shaving years off a 30-year mortgage without stressing your budget.

Mitigating Compound Interest

Interest compounds continuously on credit cards and daily on student loans. Making payments early in your billing cycle reduces the average daily balance and lowers accrued interest.

Avoiding Negative Amortization

If your fixed payment does not exceed the periodic interest charge, the unpaid interest is added to the principal balance, causing the debt to grow exponentially over time.
