Lower your rate, unlock your equity, or restructure high-interest debt into a single manageable payment.
Refinancing opens up opportunities to improve your overall financial health by potentially securing a lower interest rate, adjusting the loan term, or accessing home equity — ultimately leading to reduced monthly payments, potential savings and increased financial flexibility.
It is not free. Breaking a term early usually triggers a prepayment penalty, and there are legal and appraisal costs to account for. The question is never “is refinancing good?” but “does the saving outrun the cost, and how quickly?” The calculator below answers exactly that.
Refinancing can help lower your mortgage rate by allowing you to take advantage of current market conditions, potentially securing a more favourable interest rate than the one you started with, leading to real savings over the life of the loan.
Refinancing can provide the opportunity to access home equity, converting a portion of your home’s value into cash for home improvements, debt consolidation, or major expenses such as education or medical bills. Most lenders will refinance up to 80% of your home’s appraised value.
It can also provide an opportunity to break free from your current mortgage by replacing it with a new loan that better aligns with your financial goals — whether that means a lower rate, a different term, or better prepayment privileges.
Enter your current mortgage and the terms you have been offered. The break-even figure tells you how long it takes for the saving to cover your costs.
