Your regular payment, what it costs in interest over the life of the mortgage, and how much an accelerated schedule saves.
Monthly payment
$3,972.19
Switching to accelerated bi-weekly would make the payment $1,986.09 and clear the mortgage about 3.4 years sooner.
Early payments are almost all interest — that's not a trick, it's what happens when interest is charged on a balance that hasn't come down yet. It's also why a lump-sum prepayment in the first few years is worth far more than the same amount later.
