About the Refinance Calculator
Decide whether refinancing your mortgage makes sense. Enter your current balance, rate, and years left, then the new rate, term, and closing costs — the calculator shows your new monthly payment, the monthly savings, and how many months it takes to break even on the closing costs. If you'll stay in the home past the break-even point, refinancing usually pays off.

Frequently asked questions
Is refinancing worth it?
It's worth it if you'll keep the loan past the break-even point (closing costs ÷ monthly savings) and the new rate is meaningfully lower.
What are typical closing costs?
Roughly 2–5% of the loan amount. This tool factors them into the break-even so you see the true payback.
