How it works
Compare the old and new monthly payments. Break-even months = closing costs divided by monthly savings.
Worked example
Refinancing 300,000 from 7.2 to 6.2 percent saves about 265 a month. With 6,000 in closing costs, break-even is about 23 months.
Good to know
Resetting to a longer term can raise total interest even when the payment falls.
