Round Up payments & the live loan summary

Round each payment up to the next whole dollar (extra goes to principal), and watch the loan summary update live as escrow changes.

Updated June 27, 2026

The Round Up option nudges every payment up to a round number and quietly pays the loan down faster.

Turn it on

  1. Start a loan from Loans → New.
  2. In the wizard's Advanced section, tick Round up payment to the next dollar.
  3. Finish the wizard and create the loan.

What it does

It rounds the total scheduled payment (P&I + escrow) up to the next whole dollar. The few cents above the true amortizing payment go to principal every period — like a small recurring curtailment — so the loan pays off a little early. (It's unavailable while you're honoring a signed/custom payment amount.)

The live loan summary

A loan's summary stats — Current Balance, Currently Due, Regular Payment, and the rest — read live figures and recompute the amount due on every visit. Because a loan's escrow is part of its regular payment, changing the escrow flows straight into these numbers, so the summary always reflects the real payment.

See Creating a loan for the rest of the wizard.
