A Refinance Calculator is a powerful tool for homeowners considering refinancing their mortgage, helping evaluate potential savings and affordability. By inputting details like current loan balance, interest rate, remaining term, new loan rate, term, and closing costs, it estimates new monthly payments, total interest, and breakeven point, ensuring refinancing aligns with your financial goals.
The calculator compares your existing mortgage’s EMI—calculated as EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N – 1], where P is principal, R is monthly interest rate, and N is months—with the new loan’s terms. For example, refinancing a $200,000 loan at 6% (20 years remaining) to a 4% rate over 15 years might reduce monthly payments from $1,432 to $1,479, saving $50,000 in interest, but factoring in $5,000 closing costs, breakeven takes about 3 years.
Benefits include assessing savings, comparing loan terms, and determining if refinancing is worthwhile. Some calculators show amortization schedules or account for taxes and insurance.
For accuracy, verify current and new loan rates with lenders and include all fees (e.g., appraisal, origination). Test scenarios with different terms or rates to optimize savings.
