Frequently asked questions

What is the refinance break-even point?

It is the number of months of payment savings needed to recover your closing costs.

Should I refinance only for a lower rate?

Not necessarily. The new term, fees, how long you plan to stay, and lifetime interest all matter.

Are taxes and insurance included?

No. They usually do not change because of refinancing, so this comparison focuses on principal and interest.
