Frequently Asked Questions

What does the default example show?

Balance $280,000 plus $4,000 closing at 5.5 percent for 360 months is about $1,612.52 monthly.

Are closing costs added to the loan?

Yes. This model finances principal plus closing costs in the payment formula.

Do old rate fields change the primary payment?

The primary result is the new payment. Old rate and remaining months support comparison context on the tool.

Is break even included?

Not as the primary output. Compare old and new payments yourself to judge months to recover costs.

Can closing costs be zero?

Yes. Then payment uses the balance alone at the new rate and term.

Does this include taxes and insurance?

No. It is principal and interest style payment math only.

What term should I enter?

Use the new loan’s term in months, such as 360 for 30 years.

How do I compare with keeping the old loan?

Estimate the old payment separately, then weigh payment savings against fees and a longer reset term.
