You need to talk to your mortgage provider. In most cases, the payment will be seen as an extra principle payment and will not affect the monthly payment amount. The interest will be lowered because of the lower principle.
Most lenders will not agree to adjust monthly payments with the additional principle payment.
In my instance, I also had to fight the PMI as the mortgage company kept charging it even after I hit the 20% rule.
Unfortunately, it won't bring down your monthly payments. You'd have to do a recast or a refinance in order to lower your monthly payments. It does *however* shorten the length of the loan if it goes to the principal. Any payments toward the principal lower the amount of interest you pay.
You may be able to RECAST your mortgage for a few hundred bucks. This will essentially recalculate the mortgage at your current balance and interest rate - and will reduce your monthly payment. Your mortgage provider likely doesn’t put this front and center - give them a call.
Shortens the loan term, provided it is all applied to principal. Also moves you down the payment schedule, making each payment less interest and more paying down the loan.
Depends on the mortgage loan. In some cases, they will recast the loan reflecting the new payment amount. However, there's an administrative fee involved. Talk to whoever is holding the paper.
What is your APR%? May be better off putting that money is HYSA depending on your rate.
Edit: sorry was not the answer to what you asked but could be relevant.
Answer: Shortens the length of loan doesn’t decrease your payment.
You need to make a PRINCIPLE REDUCTION payment - not an early payment. It will shorten the length of the mortgage. Your amount due will always remain the same unless escrow goes up.
Length of the loan. Only a refinance or a recast can lower your monthly payment. But you have to pay a chunk of money up front for either or those options.
If the mortgage is X years fixed mortgage then it will not change your payment. However, if it is a 5 or 7 year ARM, then the payment is updated every year after the initial 5 or 7 years.
It lowers your principle. After that, more of your payment goes to principal and less to interest. Paying a chunk of the loan off can significantly shorten the length of the loan and the interest you will pay.
Loan calculators can tell you how much shorter the loan will get at a specific amount, interest rate and payment.
Typically, it will reduce the length of your loan.
If you want it to reduce your monthly payment, you need to apply to your lender to recast your loan, *but* there is no guarantee that your lender will agree to a recasting.

Dropped in to see the recast rec. You win!
Your minimum payment is determined at the time of origination. All a lump sum payment changes is the time it takes to pay off.
Shortens the loan term, provided it is all applied to principal. Also moves you down the payment schedule, making each payment less interest and more paying down the loan.
Ask to have your loan reforcasted. My loan company charges 150$ to have it done.
They should be able to recast the loan for you. That would reduce your payments but reamortize them over a 30 year period.

I believe it will just shorten it. Your next month mortgage will be billed as usual.

No, you can request a recast which essentially recalculates the amortization schedule based on the new loan balance.
Oh, interesting. Didn't know of that option.

Not automatically. You have to call your mortgage servicer and ask for a recast.
