FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include closing costs?

No, this compares monthly payments only - factor in closing costs separately for a complete refinancing decision.

How do I calculate my break-even point?

Divide your closing costs by your monthly payment savings to find how many months until refinancing pays for itself.

Is a lower rate always better?

Not necessarily if it comes with a longer term - compare total interest paid over the loan's life, not just monthly payment.

When does refinancing make sense?

Generally when the rate reduction and resulting savings outweigh closing costs within your expected time in the home/loan.

Is my data saved?

No, calculations happen entirely in your browser.

Does this work for both mortgages and other loans?

Yes, the same payment comparison math applies to any refinanced loan type.

Should I refinance to a shorter term?

This can increase monthly payment but reduce total interest - depends on your financial goals and budget.

What if my new loan amount differs from my old balance?

Adjust the new loan amount field to reflect any changes, like cash-out refinancing.
