Mortgage Points Calculator

Find the break-even date for buying down a mortgage rate—and whether you are likely to keep the loan long enough to win.

Points and rate reductions vary by lender and day. This model compares principal-and-interest cash flow, remaining mortgage balance, and the entered alternative return on the points cash. Taxes, insurance, deductions, closing costs, and financed points are excluded.
