How to use this calculator

Enter your balance, current rate, new rate, new term and closing costs, then press Calculate. Old and new payments plus the break-even month are shown.

What the result means

Break-even is how many months of savings it takes to cover closing costs. If you'll move before that, refinancing loses money even at a lower rate.

Frequently asked questions

When is refinancing worth it?

When rates dropped meaningfully AND you'll stay past the break-even point.

What's the term trap?

A 30-year refi of a loan with 25 years left resets the clock — lower payment, but five extra years of interest.
