    You can download such from msn in the excel templates. generally paying 1/3 of the regular amount extra in a “towards principal only” payment can take about 19 years off your loan.
    Make sure you dont exceed your pre-payment allowable clause if your loan is still under the pre pay timeline.

    Bankrate.com, Mortgage101.com, Interest.com

    Those should be able to help.

    I have calculated that in order to reduce your mortgage term to 20 years, you will have to increase the repayments by 20% and to reduce it to 15 years you have to increase them by 42%.

    All you need for this kind of problem is the Algebra book from your old school, and a simple calculator. Why are we learning them, if we are not prepared to use them later in life?

    You are probably looking for a prepayment calculator. There are three on this site.
