Explanation
Based on your current and calculated mortgage payments, this calculator figures your monthly savings. It also compares your principal balance in 5 years with and without refinancing. Based on your total cost to refinance, a break even period is calculated in relation to your monthly savings. The time value of money and income tax deductions are not considered in this refinance calculation.

These calculations are only estimates and should not be used to determine actual loan costs. Please consult your tax advisor for information on the deductibility of interest for tax purpose. Refinancing or taking out a home equity loan or line of credit may increase the total number of monthly payments and the total amount paid when comparing to your current situation.
