Making biweekly payments (half your monthly payment every two weeks) results in 13 monthly payments per year instead of 12. This extra payment each year can save thousands in interest and years off your mortgage.

The Formula
Biweekly = 26 half-payments/year = 13 full monthly payments/year. The extra 13th payment compounds over time, reducing principal faster.
Why It Matters
Your $250,000 mortgage at 6.5% has a $1,581/month payment. By paying $790.50 every two weeks instead, you make 13 full payments per year (1 extra payment) and save over $30,000 in interest while paying off your mortgage nearly 4 years early — without feeling the full burden of a higher monthly payment.
