Additional Calculations
Break-Even Analysis
Determine how long it takes to recoup closing costs:
Example: Refinance to save $200/month
Closing costs: $3,000
Break-even: 15 months
Makes sense if staying 2+ years
Debt Consolidation Savings
Calculate savings from consolidating high-interest debt:
Example: $40K credit card debt at 22%
Current payment: $800/month (interest only)
Home equity loan at 8.5%: $495/month
Savings: $305/month
Extra Payment Impact
See the impact of making extra payments:
Example: $50K loan, 10 years, 8.5%
Standard payoff: 10 years, $24,640 interest
With $100/month extra: 7.2 years, $17,200 interest
Saves: $7,440
