  • Scenario A vs B payments
  • Points cost
  • Breakeven estimate
  • Cost comparison over hold period (estimate)
How to use it

  2. Enter rate and points for each scenario.
  3. Set your expected hold period (months).
  4. Use breakeven and cost comparison to decide which option fits your timeline.

FAQ

What hold period should I use?
Use how long you expect to keep this loan before refinancing or selling. If you’re unsure, test a short hold (12–24 months) and a long hold (5+ years).
Does this include principal paydown?
The comparison focuses on costs and payments. Principal paydown is equity, not an expense, and can be analyzed separately.
