Your refinance, your reason

What would you like to change?

A different mortgage rate. More breathing room across your debts. Start with your goal, then compare the whole picture.

No sign-up. No credit check. Your numbers stay on this page unless you choose to send them.

Example numbers, not a quote. Replace them with yours.

1. Your mortgage today

Not sure what your mortgage payment includes?

On your statement, find the principal and interest portion of your regular payment. For example, if your total is $2,200 and escrow is $450, enter $1,750 here. Do not subtract or include extra principal payments as part of your regular payment.

If you cannot find it, ask your broker to help. Keep the example numbers only to explore how the calculator works.

Use principal and interest from your statement. Leave out escrow, taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and extra principal. We estimate the remaining payoff time from these numbers.

2. Debts you’d pay off

Add credit cards, auto loans, or other debts you’re considering paying off with the refinance. Use only balances you’d include, and no account numbers.

Uses the same dollar payment every month, fixed rates, and no new borrowing. Credit card minimums and promotional rates may change; this is a planning comparison.

3. The new mortgage

Explore a rate and term, then adjust the costs to match an offer. No loan program selection is needed.

Adjust refinance costs & how to pay them

Starts with a $6,000 example added to the new loan. Replace it with the costs in your loan offer when available.

Include lender and third-party fees, points, any VA funding fee or FHA upfront premium, and payoff penalties. Exclude prepaid taxes, insurance, and new escrow deposits. $6,000 is an editable example.
Use this time frame to compare costs and the debt you would still owe.
Home value & comparison details
Enter quoted monthly mortgage insurance, including FHA premiums, if applicable. No mortgage insurance is assumed. Monthly comparisons include these amounts; interest-and-fee totals exclude them because coverage can end or change.

Your monthly breathing room

Estimated monthly payment change

Calculating…

Current mortgage + insurance
Other debts you entered
Combined payment today
New mortgage + insurance

These are loan payments, not your full housing budget. Taxes, homeowners insurance, HOA dues, and debts you haven’t entered are excluded and still need to be paid.

Beyond the monthly payment

At your chosen time frame

Interest & refinance cost difference
Debt remaining: keep current loans
Debt remaining: refinance

Costs include interest and refinance fees, not mortgage insurance or housing expenses. A lower payment alone does not mean a lower total cost.

Rates, balances & upfront costs
Current blended interest rate
New mortgage interest rate
Balances being refinanced
New loan balance
Costs paid upfront
New loan / home value

The blended rate is a balance-weighted average of the mortgage and debts you entered. It is not an APR, doesn’t include fees, and will change as balances are paid down.

Compare the full payoff timelines

Projected from today, with no new borrowing. Interest + refinance costs only; excludes mortgage insurance, taxes, and other housing costs.
CompareKeep current loansRefinance

Keeping current loans assumes each entered payment stays fixed until its own debt is paid off. Freed-up payments are not automatically moved to other debts.

What if you kept paying the same total?

New loan paid off in
Interest + refinance costs

Assumes you consistently put the payment difference toward principal and the entered new mortgage insurance amount stays unchanged. This is optional extra principal, not a required payment.

Let’s see what fits your life.

We’ll compare these numbers with actual loan terms, your available equity, and the option to keep your current mortgage.

You can review or remove the scenario before sending an inquiry.

A clearer comparison, with the tradeoffs in view.

Consolidation moves debt; it does not erase it. A lower monthly payment can come from a longer repayment period and may cost more overall. Moving unsecured debt into a mortgage makes your home collateral for that debt; missed payments can put the home at risk. Ask us to compare a home equity loan or HELOC, keeping your mortgage, and paying debts separately.

This fixed-rate illustration is not a loan offer, approval, APR, payoff statement, or exact cash-to-close estimate. Program limits, lender rules, liens not entered, funding fees, accrued payoff interest, and escrow requirements can change the result. VA refinance eligibility and fees require a separate broker review. Rates and payments are assumed fixed, with monthly interest and no new charges; actual credit card interest calculations may differ. Upfront costs shown exclude prepaid expenses and escrow deposits.
