Compare overpaying and investing
These questions use different perspectives on the same Mortgage Decision Engine—not separate calculators.
Should I overpay my mortgage or invest?
Decision Engine available
Compare the certain reduction in mortgage interest from overpaying with the possible future value of investing the same spare cash.
Explore this question →What is the financial difference between overpaying and investing?
Decision Engine available
Overpaying reduces your mortgage debt. Investing keeps the mortgage as it is and puts the spare money into an investment instead. Wayli compares what each choice could produce over the same period.
Explore this question →Does overpaying beat investing in the stock market?
Decision Engine available
Sometimes. Overpaying gives you a certain saving on your mortgage interest. Investing gives you the possibility of a higher return, but the result cannot be known in advance.
Explore this question →Will I be better off in 20 years if I invest instead of overpaying my mortgage?
Decision Engine available
You could be. Investing may produce more money over 20 years, but the result depends on the return achieved. Overpaying gives you a certain reduction in mortgage debt and interest instead.
Explore this question →Is it better to pay off my mortgage faster or invest?
Decision Engine available
Paying off your mortgage faster gives you a certain reduction in debt and interest. Investing gives your spare money the chance to grow, but the final result is uncertain.
