Mathematically with your current rate of interest, never, just due to inflationary math on your static payment.

However emotionally, whenever you feel like it should be paid off is important.

Math and feelings are 2 different things, bro.

Not always. It is possible to assign values to feelings.

For example, how much would it be worth it to me to have less stress at work? Would I take a $50k pay cut for less stress or maybe just $5k? How much of a pay cut would I take to work 3 days per week? How much of a raise would I need make me work in in an office 5 days a week?

That similar process/mentality can be applied to the mortgage situation. Mortgage payments are some level of stress for everyone. Each person can decide if that is a big value or small value and analyze accordingly.
