FAQ
Q1: How can I reduce my mortgage interest?
You can reduce mortgage interest by: making extra repayments (even small amounts add up), choosing a shorter loan term, securing a lower interest rate through refinancing, using an offset account to reduce the principal daily, or switching to fortnightly/weekly repayments (which effectively adds an extra monthly payment each year).
Q2: Is fortnightly repayment better than monthly?
Yes, fortnightly repayments can save you interest over the life of the loan. By paying half your monthly repayment every two weeks, you end up making 26 fortnightly payments per year (equivalent to 13 monthly payments). This extra payment reduces your principal faster, resulting in less interest charged.
