Key Refinancing Calculations
Monthly Payment = P * [ r(1+r)^n ] / [ (1+r)^n – 1 ]
Break-Even Point (Months) = Total Closing Costs / Monthly Payment Savings
Net Lifetime Savings = (Remaining Old Payments) – (Total New Payments + Upfront Closing Costs)
Break-Even Point (Months) = Total Closing Costs / Monthly Payment Savings
Net Lifetime Savings = (Remaining Old Payments) – (Total New Payments + Upfront Closing Costs)
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a break-even point in refinancing?
The break-even point is the number of months required for your accumulated monthly payment savings to surpass the upfront closing costs incurred from refinancing.
When does it make sense to refinance a mortgage?
Refinancing generally makes sense if you can lower your interest rate by at least 0.75% to 1%, reduce your term without an unsustainable payment increase, or plan to remain in the home past your break-even point.
