When Does Refinancing Make Sense?

Refinancing replaces your current loan with a new one, ideally at a lower rate or with better terms. The key question is your break-even point: total closing costs divided by your monthly savings tells you how many months it takes to come out ahead.

If you plan to stay in the home longer than the break-even period, a refinance may be worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the rate need to drop?

There is no single rule. It depends on your loan size, closing costs and how long you will keep the loan. The break-even calculation answers it for your situation.

What is a no-cost refinance?

The lender covers closing costs in exchange for a slightly higher rate. It can make sense if you may move or refinance again soon.

Does refinancing restart my loan term?

It can. You can often choose a shorter term, such as 15 or 20 years, to avoid adding years back.
