Frequently asked questions

How is break-even calculated?

We divide your refinance closing costs by the monthly savings to estimate months to break even. We also show cumulative savings over time.

Should I pay points?

Points buy down the rate at an upfront cost. Use Mortgage Points Break-Even to see how long it takes to recover points via lower payments.

What if I reset my term?

Resetting to a longer term can lower monthly payments but increase total interest. Compare equal-remaining-term scenarios for apples-to-apples.
