Is refinancing worth it?

Refinancing replaces your loan with a cheaper one. To know whether it pays off, compare the payments for the same remaining amount and term at both rates, and subtract what switching costs: fees, early repayment charges and new contract costs.

The calculator also shows after how many months the monthly saving has paid for those costs.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as switching costs?

Early repayment fees on the old loan, opening fees on the new one and any administration costs.

Should I also shorten the term?

If you can afford a similar payment, a shorter term at the lower rate saves even more interest.

Is consolidating several loans the same?

Yes, add up what you owe and use an average of the current rates; watch out for a longer term that lowers the payment but raises the total.
