    I've heard of some people having their own overpayment spreadsheet. does a gone have one they could share ?

    My own mortgage spreadsheet is very messy and set up with about ten different scenarios so here's a simplified version for 2019:

    https://www.dropbox.com/s/86lnl4z01f698zu/Overpay.xlsx?dl=0

    You can edit everything in red and it'll spit out the interest you've saved over the course of the year.

    Hi Julicorn

    Thank you for volunteering to maintain the spreadsheet.

    Could I please keep #53 for 2019? Target to be confirmed (will be 10% of whatever my balance is at the beginning of the year)

    Count me out for next year.
    My number was 144.
    Going to miss you, Beanie. Hope you manage a bit of an overpayment this coming year but even if you don't you've already reduced your total mortgage outgoings, which is well worth doing!

    Hi all, I’ve been in the DFW for 3 years but it’s my first time to be in MFW. I would like to join in the 2019 challenge please?

    Our mortgage as of December 2018 is £73887.51 with 15 years and 5 months remaining term, a minimum payment of £510.14 at 3.24% interest. We are tied to this mortgage until 2023 and can only make limited overpayments (up to 10%).

    Our target for 2019 is to make a total payment of £10000, or £3800 in overpayments. We are also currently saving up some house renovation funds for 2019 and 2020.
