Your closing costs will be defined in a Loan Estimate that your lender provides you. The lender gives you a credit meant to pay for your closing costs in exchange for a higher rate than you would have if you paid your closing costs upfront. In a no-closing-cost refinance, you’re paying for the closing costs over the life of the loan rather than paying them at closing. Most lenders also offer what’s referred to as a no-closing-cost refinance. The first thing people think of when refinancing is how it will impact their monthly payment, but there are other costs associated with refinancing.

We’ll be taking you through how to calculate the break-even point when your goal is to lower your payment in the refinance first, but we’ll go over other situations a little later on. From there, you can take the following steps to help you determine whether any particular option is right for you. Once you submit, the calculator will show you a range of options and, crucially for determining the break-even point, the closing costs associated with each. If you’re looking to take cash out, how much? If you want to pay off your mortgage faster, how much time do you have left on your existing term? If you want to lower your payment, we ask about the current one. You’ll also be asked different questions depending on your goal. You’ll also be asked whether you’re a veteran or serving in the military so we know whether to consider VA options.

Sharing your ZIP code is helpful for two reasons: it will help estimate taxes and insurance, and it ensures you’ll talk to someone licensed in your state if you move forward. You’ll estimate your credit and say where you live. The calculator will ask you for certain information, including what your goal is in the refinance, how much you have left to pay on your mortgage and your existing equity. We encourage you to check out the Rocket Mortgage ® mortgage refinance calculator. Before moving forward with calculating the break even point, you need to look at different refinancing options, but you may not be at a point where you’re ready to take this step of having your credit pulled and putting in an application before having some idea of whether refinancing will help you meet your goals.
