About Refinance
Refinancing replaces your current mortgage with a new one, typically to get a lower interest rate, change loan term, or tap equity. This calculator helps evaluate if refinancing makes financial sense by comparing costs and savings.
How It’s Calculated
Monthly payment = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], Savings = Current interest - New interest - Closing costs, Break-even = Closing costs / Monthly savings, ROI = Savings / Closing costs * 100
Key Insights
- •Lower rates can save thousands in interest
- •Calculate break-even to ensure savings exceed costs
- •Shorter terms increase payments but reduce interest
- •Extra payments amplify savings
