Refinance planning

California Refinance Savings Calculator

Compare your current payment with a new estimated payment and closing cost break-even.

How this works: new payment uses the new rate and term. Break-even equals net closing cost divided by monthly savings.

This is an estimate only and not a loan approval or commitment to lend.

How refinance savings are estimated

Enter your current loan balance, current payment, new rate, new term, estimated closing costs, and lender credit.

The calculator estimates a new principal-and-interest payment and compares it with your current monthly payment.

Break-even is estimated by dividing net closing cost by monthly savings. Cash-out refinances, escrow changes, and tax effects require a personalized review.

Frequently asked questions

What is refinance break-even?

Break-even is the estimated time needed for monthly savings to recover the net closing cost.

Does this include cash-out refinance scenarios?

Not fully. This page focuses on rate/payment savings. Cash-out scenarios should be reviewed with a loan officer.

Should I refinance if the payment is lower?

Not always. Consider closing costs, how long you will keep the loan, loan term reset, cash-out needs, and your broader financial plan.
