Formula and assumptions

Compare Current Debt Amortization with a New Amortizing Loan for Balance + Entered Fees

The current rate is a balance-weighted planning rate; individual debts may have different minimum payments and fees.

Keep in mind: This is a simplified repayment comparison. Verify lender fees, effective rates, settlement amounts and eligibility before refinancing debt.
