Got extra cash? Here's when experts say it's best to make a lump-sum mortgage payment
Being mortgage free can seem like a distant goal when the outstanding balance is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars and most of your regular payments are going toward paying interest. But if you can afford it, financial experts say making additional lump-sum payments can help speed your path to being debt free. 'Making lump sum payments on your mortgage is a pretty powerful strategy to save on your interest and become mortgage free a lot sooner,' says Patty Hopper, a mobile mortgage specialist at Vancity in North Vancouver, B.C. By making a lump-sum payment on your mortgage in addition to your regular payments, you reduce the outstanding balance. This saves you cash in the long run because you'll no longer be paying interest on that amount. Hopper said a lot people don't have the extra cash flow to make an extra payment, but if you're lucky enough to receive a bonus at work or a tax refund, that can be used to make a lump-sum payment once a year. 'Any little bit is going to save you interest,' Hopper said. When mortgage rates were less than two per cent, the case for using extra cash to make additional payments instead of investing that money in hopes of making more than you were paying in interest was hard to make. But with higher interest rates combined with volatile stock markets, the case for trying to do better by investing the money versus the sure thing of paying down additional debt and saving on interest is harder to make. Mengdie Hong, a senior financial planner at RBC in Ottawa, said you want to compare your mortgage rate and expected return on the investments. 'In simple words, if your mortgage rate is higher than what you expect from your investment … it may be best to allocate this excess cash to the mortgage, but if your expected return is noticeably higher than the mortgage, you may want to invest,' Hong said. Making lump-sum payments on your mortgage can also help keep any rise in your payments in check if you face a higher interest rate upon renewal, because your outstanding balance will be lower. And if you find yourself selling your home before you've fully repaid your loan, you'll end up with more cash in hand because of the lower amount you owed. 'You've got more cash on hand to make your next purchase or to move forward in the next leg of your journey,' Hopper said. The size of any lump-sum payment aren't without restrictions, which will vary between lenders. How much you can repay early and how often will be laid out in the documents you signed when you took out the loan. Both Hong and Hopper say extra payments on your mortgage shouldn't be made in isolation and must be considered as part of your overall financial plan. The status of your emergency fund, RRSP, RESP and TFSA contributions, and other debts all need to be considered. Monday Mornings The latest local business news and a lookahead to the coming week. Hong said if you have other, higher-interest debt, such as outstanding credit card balances, that may be where you want to be making extra payments. 'So before you apply this lump sum, you may want to review all the debts that you have,' she said. Hong says paying down your mortgage and becoming debt-free sooner feels great, but you don't necessarily want to do it at the expense of flexibility. 'We always want to have flexibility and options in our financial plan,' she said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025.

4 Top Dividend ETFs Yielding Over 4% to Buy for Easy Passive Income
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make investing easy. These managed funds come with built-in diversification. Because of that, you can buy an ETF and sit back and let it do all the work. Many ETFs hold income-generating investments, making them ideal for those seeking passive income. Here are four top dividend ETFs yielding at least 4% to buy and hold for easy passive income. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEMKT: SCHD) tracks an index (Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index) focused on companies that pay quality and sustainable dividends. It targets higher-yielding dividend stocks that have grown their payouts at healthy rates over the past five years, which seem likely to continue. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF has a distribution yield of slightly more than 4% based on its payments over the last 12 months. Given the fund's emphasis on holding dividend growers, it has delivered a steadily rising income stream to its investors over the years: SCHD Dividend data by YCharts. While that past performance doesn't guarantee future success, the fund's focus on high-quality companies that grow their dividends bodes well for its ability to continue paying a steadily rising income stream. iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF The iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (NASDAQ: PFF) tracks an index that holds preferred and hybrid securities. These investments are like a combination of bonds (they pay fixed income) and stocks (they represent an ownership interest). They tend to be riskier than bonds but have a lower risk profile than stocks. The fund currently holds 443 securities, primarily issued by financial institutions (70.2% of its holdings), industrial companies (18.2%), and utilities (10.2%). The ETF has a 6.6% yield based on payments over the last 12 months. That's on par with a high-yield bond fund. In addition to that high yield, which can fluctuate from month to month, the fund offers some potential for price appreciation. For example, a $10,000 investment made at the fund's inception in 2007 would be worth over $20,000 today. JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF The JPMorgan Equity Premium ETF (NYSEMKT: JEPI) aims to distribute income to investors each month while also providing them with less volatile exposure to the equity market. The JPMorgan Equity Premium ETF has a two-fold investment strategy designed to achieve that goal: Defensive equity portfolio: The fund holds a portfolio of stocks selected based on its proprietary, risk-adjusted stock rankings to provide exposure to the market. Discipline options overlay strategy: The ETF's managers write out-of-the-money (above the current level) call options on the S&P 500 Index. By writing (or shorting) these options, it gets paid the options premium (value of the option). The strategy generates income that the fund can distribute to investors each month. The fund's strategy is very lucrative: As that chart shows, it has delivered a higher income yield than U.S. high-yield bonds (junk bonds) over the past 12 months. In addition to that lucrative passive-income stream, the fund can also deliver some price-appreciation potential from its stock portfolio. Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF The Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF (NYSEMKT: GCOW) focuses on companies that generate lots of free cash flow. That enables these cash cows to pay lucrative dividends. The strategy-driven ETF aims to identify companies that can continue to pay attractive dividends by screening for them based on their free-cash-flow yield and dividend yield. The fund holds the top 100 companies with the highest free-cash-flow yield and highest dividend yield. It weighs them by their dividends, capping the top holding at 2% of the fund's assets. It reconstitutes and rebalances its holdings twice each year to ensure it holds the 100 top cash cow dividend stocks. The average holding in the fund has a 6.3% free-cash-flow yield and a 4.7% dividend yield. However, after expenses (the fund has a 0.6% ETF expense ratio), its annualized dividend yield is closer to 4.2%. While the fund's strategy aims to identify companies in a better position to maintain and grow their dividends, there's no guarantee that will happen, as fund payments can fluctuate, sometimes significantly, based on dividends received by the companies it holds. Easy ways to collect passive income ETFs make it super easy to generate passive income. Many ETFs focus on holding income-producing investments, giving investors lots of options. The Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF, JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF, and Pacer Global Cash Cows Dividend ETF stand out for their attractive yields and potential for income growth.
