Frequently Asked Questions

How is the mortgage points break-even point calculated?

Break-Even = Cost of Points / Monthly Payment Reduction. One mortgage point costs 1% of your loan amount and typically reduces your rate by a fraction of a percentage point.

Are mortgage points worth buying?

Points are generally worth it if you plan to keep the loan longer than the break-even period -- the longer you stay past that point, the more you save; if you might sell or refinance sooner, points may not pay off.
