How much interest do I save with extra payments?

Depends on loan amount, rate, and monthly extra. $100 extra/month on $300k @ 7% saves ~$60-80k.

Should I pay extra principal or invest?

If mortgage rate > investment returns, pay extra. If <, invest. Typically mortgage rates higher currently.

Yes. One annual extra payment = 1 month principal reduction. Saves ~5-7 years on 30-year mortgage.
