Refinance break-even calculator
Compare the current payment with the refinanced payment to see the months needed to recover closing costs and the interest saved.
Break-even is closing costs divided by the monthly saving. It answers only one question — how long until the fees are recovered — and deliberately ignores whether a longer term costs more in total interest. Compare the total interest of the old and new schedules before deciding; extending a term can lower the payment while raising the total cost.
