Points cost vs savings
Enter values to calculate.
How this is calculated
Interest is converted to a monthly rate, then we iterate the standard level-payment schedule so the sum of principal portions equals the starting amount.
Balloon or IO variants (when offered) freeze principal portions until the period ends, then true up in one lump—watch the summary line for that jump.
Escrow, PMI, and taxes are excluded unless the form explicitly asks for them.
Use this tool for
- Shopping Mortgage Points offers from two lenders with different points or terms.
- Seeing how an extra principal payment shifts payoff month and interest saved.
- Checking whether a shorter term still fits cash flow after a raise.
