Cumulative cost comparison

Where the lines cross is your break-even point — the month the refinance has paid for itself.

Results are estimates for planning purposes only and are not a commitment to lend. Closing costs and rates shown are estimates; your official rate and APR come from a full application and disclosure. Consolidating shorter-term debt into a 30-year loan can lower your monthly payment while increasing total interest paid unless you continue paying extra. PMI cancellation timing, rate changes, and escrow adjustments are not modeled. Talk with your loan officer for figures specific to your situation.
