Refinancing Home Loans
The best time to refinance is usually when interest rates are 2% less than the rates used to close your loan. Even if rates are slightly less than 2%, 1.5% for example, a homeowner can still save but it would take a longer period of time for those savings to materialize.

Mortgage Calc
Primarily, a mortgage calc gives you your expected monthly payment, but it also shows you how a slight change can affect the repayment of your loan. A loan of $150,000 with a term of 30 years and an interest rate of 7% will have a monthly payment of $997. The calculator may also tell you that the total interest on such a loan would be $209,263. However, if you change the interest rate to 8%, the monthly payment increases to $1,100 and the interest increases to $246,232. This would mean that 1% made a difference of $103 every month for thirty years and a total of nearly $37,000 in payment of interest. Small changes in loan terms can add up, which is an especially important consideration for anyone looking in to refinancing.

Mortgage Refiancing
It is also possible to refinance your home loan for a higher amount than the previous mortgage, leaving you with money left over. This is called cash-out refinancing. When cash-out refinancing the amount of money borrowed above what is owed in the first mortgage is borrowed against home equity. Home equity is the value of your house that remains after the current mortgage is subtracted from the current market value of the home. Lenders will often let homeowners borrow up 85% of this equity in addition to the amount of the original mortgage.

Refinancing Your Home

However, if your original loan has a high rate or an unappealing term, refinancing can be the perfect opportunity to save money and reduce monthly payments. If you are a homeowner who:

• Plans to remain at his or her home for the next three years
• Would like to change an adjustable rate mortgage or establish a lower rate cap
• Has not damaged your credit since your original loan
• Wants to take advantage of lower interest rates
• Needs money for home repairs or improvement
• Needs money for college tuition or other large purchases
