How refinancing math works
Refinancing replaces your existing loan with a new one. You save money when the total cost of the new loan (interest + closing costs) is less than the remaining interest you'd pay on the old loan. The break-even point tells you how long it takes to recoup closing costs from monthly savings.
Rule of thumb: refinance if you can lower your rate by 1% or more AND you plan to keep the loan past the break-even point.
