About This Calculator

Every refinance has closing costs, and it takes time for monthly savings to recover those costs. This calculator shows how many months until you break even, and whether that timeline makes sense given how long you plan to stay in the home.

Estimates only — not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Verify important results with a qualified professional before making decisions.

break-even months = closing costs ÷ monthly savings; annual savings = monthly savings × 12
