How does making your mortgage payment bi-weekly save you money?

Filed Under mortgage 

honeybear asked:


I got a letter in the mail from the bank that says paying our mortgage payment bi-weekly instead of monthly could save us $40,000 to $100,000 in interest and reduce our mortgage term by 7 to 9 years without refinancing. How does this work?
