Common Questions
Is a $0 Closing Cost Refinance Always Worth It?
Not always. A lender may cover closing costs by offering a higher rate. Compare the monthly payment, rate, and how long you expect to keep the loan.
How Much Lower Should My New Interest Rate Be?
There is no universal rule. The right threshold depends on closing costs, loan size, remaining term, and whether you will keep the mortgage long enough to pass break-even.
This calculator uses a simplified fixed-rate mortgage model. It does not include taxes, insurance, PMI, escrow changes, or lender-specific fees beyond the closing cost you enter.
