New mortgage balance

Closing costs
Total fees and other costs associated with the new mortgage and paid at the time of closing. This calculator assumes that all closing costs are paid with proceeds other than the new mortgage (closing costs are not added to the total for your new mortgage amount).

Prepayment penalties
Some mortgages require you to pay a penalty if the mortgage is paid off early. If you current mortgage has a penalty for prepayment, enter that amount here. Your prepayment penalties are assumed to be an additional cost that is paid at the time of closing.

Breakeven point
The breakeven point occurs when your interest savings equals your additional closing costs and prepayment penalties. If you have no closing costs or prepayment penalties, there is no breakeven point.
