Frequently asked questions
Why does bi-weekly save so much?
26 half-payments a year equals 13 full monthly payments (not 12). That one extra payment annually hits principal directly, cutting interest over the life of the loan dramatically.
Do I need to enroll with my lender?
Some lenders offer biweekly programs free. Others charge a setup fee. You can also DIY: just pay 1/12 extra each month — same effect, no fees.
Are there risks?
Yes — you're committing to a higher effective annual payment. Make sure the extra goes to principal (not held as prepaid interest) and that you maintain emergency liquidity.
Does this work for auto and student loans too?
Yes, the same math applies to any amortizing loan. Savings are smaller on shorter-term loans but still meaningful.
