Refinance Break-Even
“You must stay in your home for at least 20 months for this refinance to pay for itself.”
Deciding whether to refinance your mortgage requires more than just looking at a lower interest rate; you must identify your “Break-Even Point.” The Refinance Break-Even Calculator is a sophisticated financial tool designed to calculate exactly how many months it will take for your monthly interest savings to recover the upfront closing costs of a new loan. While a lower monthly payment is attractive, the thousands of dollars required for origination fees, appraisals, and title insurance mean that refinancing only makes sense if you plan to stay in the home long enough to surpass the cost-recovery threshold. This utility allows you to input your current payment, new projected payment, and total refinancing fees to visualize your journey toward true profitability.
