Required Inputs

  • Current loan balance

Formulas & Calculations

Current monthly = Balance × [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1]
New monthly = Balance × [r_new(1+r_new)^n_new] / [(1+r_new)^n_new - 1]
Current total remaining = Current monthly × Remaining months
New total = (New monthly × New term) + Refinancing fees
Total savings = Current total - New total
Monthly savings = Current monthly - New monthly
