Fixed-rate mortgages have both pros and cons. Fixed-rate mortgages offer protection against rate increases. Should mortgage rates increase, payments on a fixed-rate mortgage stay the same.
However, if we see lower mortgage rates in the future, homeowners might weigh the costs and benefits of mortgage refinancing. Mortgage refinancing may involve paying a penalty. On the other hand, if refinance mortgage rates are low enough, the interest savings could be substantial.
The Mortgage Refinancing Calculator estimates
the financial benefit from mortgage refinancing. The spreadsheet considers
both the Original Mortgage and the Refinance Mortgage, and shows the change
in (i) total payments; (ii) interest; and (iii) principal. The mortgage
savings can be viewed on an undiscounted basis, or on a discounted basis.
