What to check

Before making the payment

Confirm whether the allowance resets by calendar year, mortgage anniversary, or product year.

Check whether the charge applies to overpayments, full redemption, porting, or switching product.

Ask whether fees are paid upfront, deducted from the payment, or added to the mortgage.

Important disclaimer

This calculator provides estimates only and does not constitute financial advice. Early repayment charge rules vary by lender, product, date, allowance period, and repayment type. Check your mortgage offer or ask your lender before making a real payment or switching deal.
