How to use the Refinance Payment and Fee Comparison Calculator

Compare payments on the same balance under two fixed amortizing loan scenarios. The primary value is the monthly payment reduction, with fee recovery shown only when the reduction is positive.

The calculation

Simple fee recovery = closing cost/(old payment−new payment); compare complete remaining scheduled payments separately

Worked example

With identical rates and terms, there is no monthly payment saving and the refinance costs its upfront fee.

Assumptions and limits

Simple recovery ignores time value and equity differences. A longer term may lower payments while increasing total cost. Fees are upfront rather than financed.
