Assuming the loan is 10 years at 5.5% with the loan amount of $100,000. The first mortgage payment starts January.

Option 1: Pay extra payment $300 every month until pay off.
Option2: Pay 3600 (300 x 12) at the end of each year until pay off.

I would like to compare the total interest and pay off time between two options. Do you know how much the difference will be or you know a good online mortgage calculator can fulfill such comparison? Thanks.

Google 'amortization calculator'.

I don't have an amortization calculator that will calculate a one time annual principle payment. Without a doubt your $300 monthly payment will payoff your loan faster than the one time per year payment.
