Refinancing

Refinance Break-Even Calculator

Compare your current home loan with a new offer. The result includes repayments, annual fees, one-off switching costs and the remaining debt position, so a longer new loan term does not make a refinance look better than it is.

How this calculator treats a refinance

The break-even estimate is the first month where the lower interest and fee cost has recovered the net switching cost. The 1, 2 and 5 year figures compare payments made, fees paid and the balance still owing on each loan.

A lower repayment can be caused by extending the loan term. That can help cash flow, but it does not by itself make the loan cheaper. Compare the lifetime loan-cost difference and the remaining balance before deciding.
