Edit if you have a quote from a lender.
Rate-and-term or streamline refinance. For pulling equity out, use the Cash-Out tab.
Standard rate-and-term refinance on a conventional loan. Up to 95% LTV.
Pull equity out of your home as a lump sum. Higher LTV caps + fees apply. For lowering your rate only, use the Refinance tab.

Added to your new loan balance.
Add each debt, choose the type, then edit balance, APR, term, and payment type. HELOCs can be modeled as interest-only so payment-shock risk is visible.
Use today's market rate for the loan type you'd consolidate into (conventional, FHA, VA cash-out, or HELOC).
Estimates the highest home price based on your income, monthly debts, down payment, and monthly housing costs. This is a ceiling, not a goal.

Straight answers. No fluff.
The rate you see advertised on TV or bank websites is usually a floor rate for perfect borrowers. Your actual rate gets adjusted based on your credit score, down payment, and property type. We apply these adjustments automatically so you see the real rate, not a teaser. The base rate we track mirrors the industry average (Freddie Mac PMMS and FRED).
Conventional PMI rates shown use industry-standard published rate cards as our benchmark. Actual PMI varies by less than 0.02% across major mortgage insurance providers. Remember: PMI is based on your credit score and LTV, not the lender.
No. FHA MIP is a government-backed insurance premium set by HUD. Every FHA borrower pays the same MIP rate for the same loan term and LTV, regardless of credit score. If your LTV is above 90% at origination, MIP stays for the life of the loan. The only way to remove it is to refinance to conventional.
The VA funding fee is a one-time government fee, not mortgage insurance. It can be financed into the loan. Disabled veterans, Purple Heart recipients, and surviving spouses are exempt. First-use at zero down is 2.15%; subsequent-use at zero down jumps to 3.30%. At 5% or more down, both first and subsequent use drop to 1.50%. For a VA IRRRL (streamline refinance), the fee drops to 0.50%.
Pricing has hard tier boundaries. At exactly 85% LTV (15% down), you sit at the top of one pricing tier. At 85.01% LTV (a single penny less down), you fall into the next tier up, which prices worse. We flag these cliffs and show you exactly how much more to put down to stay in the better tier.
The calculator uses industry-standard pricing adjustments and PMI benchmarks. Your actual rate depends on the specific lender's pricing sheet, occupancy, property type, and any compensating factors. For your real rate from 100+ wholesale lenders, book a free call with Jeff.
