Refinance Savings Calculator

What is Mortgage Refinancing?

Refinancing means replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan, usually with better terms. This could mean a lower interest rate, different loan term, or accessing home equity through cash-out refinancing.

Common Reasons to Refinance:

  • Lower your monthly payments
  • Reduce your interest rate
  • Change your loan term
  • Convert variable rate to fixed rate
  • Access home equity for other expenses

When Should You Consider Refinancing?

Interest Rates Have Dropped

Generally, a 1% reduction in interest rate can make refinancing worthwhile

Improved Credit Score

Better credit can qualify you for lower interest rates

Long-Term Plans

Plan to stay in your home long enough to recover refinancing costs
