How the calculator handles lender credits
It assumes a rate increase based on typical pricing adjustments and applies that rate to your loan amount to show the payment impact.

Why results vary by lender
Each lender prices credits differently, so the calculator provides an approximation, not a final quote.

Key inputs that affect accuracy
Credit score, equity, loan amount, and loan type influence how much credit is required and how much the rate must adjust.

What the calculator helps you compare
It shows whether avoiding upfront costs is worth the long‑term payment difference compared to a standard refinance.
