Horizon savings compare interest plus fees, including financed fees once, and exclude taxes, insurance, discounting and opportunity cost. Compare balances as well as payments.

How to use

  1. Replace the example inputs with your loan and property figures.
  2. Select Calculate to update the estimate and any schedule.
  3. Change one assumption at a time, then compare the result with the earlier scenario.

How this calculation works

The existing balance is amortized over the remaining term. The replacement loan uses the new rate and term, adding fees to principal only when selected. At the comparison horizon, the tool totals interest and transaction fees and separately reports each remaining balance.

Horizon savings = old interest to horizon − new interest to horizon − refinance fees

Worked example

Illustrative inputs — not a quote or a local average.

Current principal balance
$320,000.00
Interest rate
6.5 %
Years remaining
25 years
New interest rate
5.75 %
New loan term
25 years
Transaction costs
$4,500.00
Finance closing costs

Comparison period
7 years

New monthly P&I: $2,013.14. Comparison monthly P&I: $2,160.66. Monthly payment reduction: $147.52.

Reading the result

A lower payment can come from a better rate, a longer term, or both. Read the horizon cost difference alongside the balances. Financing costs reduces cash due today but makes those costs interest-bearing; the cost comparison counts the fee itself once and also includes the interest it creates.

Before acting on the estimate

Use all nonrecoverable refinance costs, including any applicable penalty. Do not count a refundable old escrow balance as interest savings. This model excludes cash-out proceeds and tax effects; use the cash-out tool for proceeds and obtain a full lender quote for underwriting.

Questions, answered

Are financed fees free?

No. They increase the new balance and future interest.

Can lower payments still cost more?

Yes. Extending repayment can reduce the monthly bill while increasing interest.
