Frequently Asked Questions
How is the mortgage refinance break-even period calculated?
Divide total out-of-pocket closing costs (origination fees, title insurance, appraisal, transfer taxes) by your monthly principal and interest savings. If you plan to remain in the property past this month count, refinancing produces net financial savings.
Does resetting to a new 30-year term increase lifetime interest charges?
Yes. Lowering your interest rate reduces your monthly payment, but restarting the amortization clock back to 30 years can increase lifetime interest unless you make additional principal payments.
Are personal loan balances or property values stored on external servers?
No. All calculations run strictly in client-side browser memory with zero network data transmission or account logging.
