Compare Monthly Payments Before You Refinance

Enter your current balance, interest rate, and remaining term, then try a new rate, term, and cash-out amount. This tool estimates the difference in monthly principal-and-interest payments. It does not calculate closing costs, total interest savings, taxes, insurance, or your break-even point.

A lower monthly payment can result from extending the loan term and may increase total interest. Cash-out refinancing increases your loan balance. Compare the full costs and repayment schedule with a loan officer.

These displayed rates provide general market information, not a personalized quote. Rates available to you depend on the borrower, property, loan program, and market conditions.

What Each Input Means

  • Current interest rate: the annual rate on your existing loan.
  • Remaining loan term: the number of months left on the existing loan.
  • New interest rate: the rate assumption for the new loan.
  • New loan term: the number of months for repayment of the new loan.
  • Cash-out amount: additional money borrowed against your equity, if applicable.

Look Beyond the Monthly Payment

Review closing costs, the new payoff date, total interest, mortgage insurance, and how long you expect to keep the loan. A simple break-even estimate divides refinance costs by monthly savings when there are positive savings, but loan-term changes and cash-out borrowing require a broader comparison.

Ask for a Loan Estimate to review the proposed payment and costs. A Loan Estimate does not mean the application has been approved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What information do I need to use the refinance calculator?

You’ll need your current loan balance, interest rate, remaining term, estimated new interest rate, new loan term, and any cash-out amount. Review closing costs separately; this calculator does not include them.

Will refinancing hurt my credit?

A refinance involves a credit check, which may have a minor, temporary effect on your score.

How much does it cost to refinance?

Costs depend on the lender, loan, property, and services required. Review the estimated closing costs in your Loan Estimate and discuss them with your loan officer.
