Run the numbers before you decide.

Five calculators, no sign-up, nothing saved. They're built to help you think clearly — not to quote you a rate.

01 · Monthly payment

What would this house actually cost each month?

The full payment, not just principal and interest. Taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance and HOA are the part most online calculators leave out.

Estimates only. Not a commitment to lend or a loan offer. The rate is a placeholder you can change; actual pricing depends on credit, property and lender review. Down payment accepts a dollar amount or a percent. Mortgage insurance is estimated from the program, down payment and credit score.

02 · Affordability

How much home fits your budget?

A quick estimate from your income and debts. Adjust the numbers and watch the price range, payment, and cash to close update.

Estimates only. Not a commitment to lend or a pre-approval. Actual qualification depends on credit, documentation and lender review; mortgage insurance is estimated from the program, down payment and credit score. Rate shown is a placeholder you can change; it is not an offer.

03 · Refi break-even

When does the refinance pay for itself?

Enter what you have and what you're being offered. We'll show the monthly savings, the month you break even, and where you stand five years out.

Estimated balance today$288,617 · 36 payments in · $2,142/mo P&I

Estimates only. Not a commitment to lend or a loan offer. The rate shown is a placeholder you can change; actual pricing depends on credit, equity, property and lender review. Taxes and insurance are excluded — you pay those either way. Balance estimate assumes on-schedule payments with no extra principal.

04 · Rent vs. buy

Is renting really cheaper, or just cheaper this month?

We compare the full cost of owning against renting year by year — rent increases, upkeep, appreciation, and what your down payment could have earned if you kept renting — and show the year buying starts to win.

Renting
Buying

Estimates only, not advice. Compares net worth (home equity vs. the renter's investments). Assumes 3% closing costs when you buy and that the renter invests the down payment plus any month where renting is cheaper at a 6% return. Ignores taxes on investment gains and the mortgage-interest deduction. Mortgage insurance is estimated for down payments under 20%, by credit score.

Buying pulls ahead in

Year 5

Owning costs more each month at first. Rent keeps climbing while your payment doesn't, and the equity builds.

05 · Blended rate

Keep your low rate and add a second loan, or refinance it all?

If you have a 3% first mortgage, a cash-out refinance replaces all of it at today's rate. A HELOC or second mortgage only prices the new money. This shows the true blended cost of each path.

What you have now
The money you need

Estimates only, not an offer. Rates are placeholders you can change. Blended rate = each balance × its rate, divided by the total balance. Interest is compared for the first year on the full combined balance. Closing costs, HELOC draw periods and variable-rate changes are not included — we'll go through those with you.

Your blended rate if you add a second

4.18%

vs. 6.75% if you refinance everything. Keeping the first mortgage saves about $8,700 in interest the first year.
