Summary of refinance calculations

Summary of Calculations

  • Your current mortgage would be paid in full in approximately 26.4 years. It would cost $30,016.26 in interest over the 26 months remaining in your term. At the same rate, the interest you would pay from now to the end of the amortization would be $215,827.13.
  • You have approximately $150,000.00 of equity in your home. Following federal lending guidelines, up to $60,000.00 of this equity could be available for use during refinancing.
  • We estimate that the penalty for breaking your mortgage term early would be approximately $3,410.04. For the exact amount, you must contact your current lender.
  • After applying the refinance penalty to the mortgage balance, you would have $56,589.96 in equity left for debt consolidation purposes.
