ACCELERATED PAYMENTS Since many people are paid bi-weekly, some opt to ACCELERATE their mortgage payments -- pay BI-WEEKLY. With this method of payment, the bi-weekly payments are HALF the monthly payments, but you pay 26 TIMES A YEAR (since there are 52 weeks in a year, bi-weekly is half that) --- this works out to 13 MONTHLY payments. This extra payment results in paying off the mortgage faster-- hence the term ACCELERATED
EXAMPLE: If Ms. Chan switches to accelerated bi-weekly mortgage payments, how much will she save over the life of the mortgage?
Each BI-WEEKLY Payment is HALF the monthly payment
