See what paying points to lower your rate costs upfront — and exactly how long until it pays for itself.
Buying points makes the most sense when you plan to keep the loan past the break-even point. If you may sell or refinance sooner, the upfront cost may not pay off.
Your break-even point is when your accumulated monthly savings equal the upfront cost of the points. After that, the savings are pure benefit.
| Cost of Points | — |
| Monthly Savings | — |
| Lifetime Net Savings | — |
