Should you refinance? Find your real break even point.

Most break even math is just closing costs divided by your monthly savings. That misses the bigger picture, since a shorter term or lower rate can save you real money even when your payment barely moves. This calculator tracks the actual interest difference month by month instead.

This is an estimate for planning only, based on the numbers you enter and standard amortization math. It does not account for taxes, insurance, PMI changes, opportunity cost of cash paid at closing, or the possibility of moving or refinancing again before break even. Actual figures depend on your loan estimate and closing disclosure. For real numbers based on today's rates and your situation, let's talk.
