Alex Mortgage Example
See how Fynia compares payoff paths for a sample mortgage and highlights the payment path with the strongest Payment Efficiency.
This is a sample scenario. Results are estimates based on the loan inputs shown and lender terms.
Before vs Ideal
Alex's current path versus the strongest efficiency path
Fynia compares Alex's current payment against the six payoff paths in the report. In this sample, Ideal creates the strongest balance between extra monthly cash, projected savings, and payoff speed.
For +23.8% more each month:
45.7% less interest
40.3% shorter payoff
Alex's Ideal path is not the highest payment. It is the option with the strongest balance between extra monthly cash, projected savings, and payoff speed in this sample.
Six payoff paths
All six paths included in the same sample report
Each path represents a different monthly budget and tradeoff. The goal is not always to pay the most. The goal is to compare which path makes the strongest use of each extra monthly dollar.
Basic
Lightest step upFor +8.5% more each month
23.9% less interest
20.3% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +8.5% more each month, projected interest falls 23.9%.
That is 15.4 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
The lightest step up for borrowers who want better results with the smallest possible monthly increase.
6y 1mo faster payoff. A useful starting point, but still materially below Ideal on Payment Efficiency in this sample.
Standard
Balanced middle pathFor +10.7% more each month
28.3% less interest
24.2% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +10.7% more each month, projected interest falls 28.3%.
That is 17.6 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
A balanced middle path for borrowers who want clearer projected savings without moving too aggressively.
7y 3mo faster payoff. A practical middle ground when you want a modest payment bump with noticeably stronger projected benefits.
Premium
Stronger progressFor +14.1% more each month
33.8% less interest
29.2% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +14.1% more each month, projected interest falls 33.8%.
That is 19.8 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
A stronger progress path for borrowers who can stretch the monthly payment and want faster visible progress.
8y 9mo faster payoff. It unlocks a stronger tradeoff while still staying close to the efficient range.
Ideal
Peak efficiencyFor +23.8% more each month
45.7% less interest
40.3% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +23.8% more each month, projected interest falls 45.7%.
That is 21.8 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
The option where extra monthly cash, projected savings, and payoff speed create the strongest balance.
12y 1mo faster payoff. Ideal marks the strongest Payment Efficiency balance in this sample, not the highest payment.
Quick
Faster payoff focusFor +35.2% more each month
54.8% less interest
49.2% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +35.2% more each month, projected interest falls 54.8%.
That is 19.6 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
A faster payoff path for borrowers who prioritize getting out of the mortgage sooner and can commit more monthly cash.
14y 9mo faster payoff. It accelerates the schedule, but the larger payment already produces weaker efficiency than Ideal.
Max
Comparison capFor +69.4% more each month
69.7% less interest
64.4% shorter payoff
Payment increase vs. interest reduction
For +69.4% more each month, projected interest falls 69.7%.
That is only 0.3 percentage points more interest reduction than payment increase.
Max shows the upper end of the tested range. It may save more total dollars, but it is not necessarily the most efficient recommendation.
19y 4mo faster payoff. The results improve, but the payment jump is so large that this becomes a comparison cap, not the smartest default move.
Payment Efficiency
Why Ideal beats Max on efficiency in this mortgage sample
Payment Efficiency compares how effectively each extra monthly dollar turns into projected savings and faster payoff.
- Ideal is the strongest efficiency balance in this sample - not the highest payment.
- Max marks where larger payments may create weaker returns, not the default recommendation.
