Repayment strategy

Pay off your mortgage as fast as possible

Instead of overpaying, you set something aside each month into a fund with a return. Once the fund grows to the remaining debt, you pay off the mortgage in one shot. But it only pays off when the fund return beats the mortgage rate.

Year by year

● marks the first year in which the fund covers the remaining debt — you could pay the mortgage off. The better path (more money at the end) is marked on its tab.

Until year ● you pay the Kč 9,126 instalment and put Kč 5,000 into the fund each month. Once the fund matches the remaining debt (12 years 3 mo), you pay the mortgage off in one go — the debt drops to zero and Kč 8,638 stays in the fund. From then on you invest the full Kč 14,126 a month (the freed instalment plus the aside) until the original term ends (30 years).
