3种付款方式利息的比较

让我举一个例子来说明加速双周付款的好处。

将设:
贷款总额: $300,000;
年利息: 5.5%;
付清年限: 25年;
贷款合同期限: 5年;

请用我的房屋贷款付款明细表,找出5年期间所付的利息总合。

注意: 对于月付款,5年共有60次付款;对于双周付款,5年有130次付款。
一年有26个双周 (365/14)。

5年下来,采用月付款、(常规)双周付款、和加速双周付款分别付出利息(总合)为: $77432.97、 $77299.23 和 $75928.17。 相对于月付款而言,(常规)双周付款少付 $133.74 利息,加速双周付款少付 $1504.80 利息。

当然,具体选择哪一种付款方式,是您的自由和选择。

Let us use the following example to illustrate how much interest you can save by using accelerated biweekly payment.

Loan Amount: $300,000;
Annual Interest: 5.5%;
Amortization: 25 years;
Term: 5 years;

At the end of the term (5 years), total interests paid using monthly, (regular) biweekly, and accelerated biweekly payments are $77432.97, $77299.23 and $75928.17, respectively. Relative to the monthly payment, (regular) biweekly payment saves $133.74 in interest during the 5 years while accelerated biweekly payment saves $1504.80.
