Frequently asked questions
- How does paying biweekly save money?
- Twenty-six half-payments equal 13 full monthly payments a year instead of 12. That extra payment reduces principal directly, so less interest accrues and the loan ends years earlier.
- Is a biweekly plan the same as paying extra monthly?
- Roughly. Adding 1/12 of a payment to each monthly payment achieves a similar result. Biweekly plans automate the equivalent of one extra payment per year; the small difference comes from paying every two weeks rather than monthly.
- Will my lender charge for biweekly payments?
- Some servicers charge enrollment or per-payment fees, and some hold biweekly payments and apply them monthly, which erases the benefit. Confirm that payments are applied as received before enrolling.
