    Put the figures in here and you find your current payment is in the ballpark.

    Remember, as your capital is reducing there is less interest due. More of your capital is generating interest for you. Barclays have your funding in savings accounts which will pay interest which will exceed the interest due on the mortgage.

    If you are still uncertain write to them and have them confirm the figures in writing.

    Probably because that is where they are getting the figures from.

    Unless they have change the rules money in the offset accounts in excess of the mortgage gets no interest.

    If you look at that graph it also show the payment going up over the term from the current £660 up to the full £860

    as the capital goes down the interest included in the full payment goes down so the amount you pay(capital) will go up


    There is no interest on any surplus in the offsets.


    it even explains it on the page.
    Graph information:

    1
    At the start of your mortgage, your monthly payment would be £657.22; offset saving of £174.52 this month.

    2
    After 1 month your mortgage balance is now equal to your savings balance, so you can choose to settle your mortgage now. If you wish to continue making monthly payments, you will notice your capital repayments increase so that your mortgage balance can be cleared at full term of 13 years 2 months

    3
    Congratulations, your mortgage term has now ended and your mortgage balance is £0.00. Offset savings to date are: £14,415.39
