Refinancing Calculator

Refinancing at a lower rate has the potential to save you thousands of dollars in the long run. However, for refinancing to be worth it, the savings in interest must be greater than the fees (i.e. points, closing costs) involved with the refinancing process. The refinancing calculator will take these fees into consideration and tell you how much you could save (or lose) should you decide to refinance at a lower rate.
