When this calculator is useful

Important limitations

Confirm that your servicer applies extra money to principal and check for prepayment restrictions. Taxes, insurance, escrow, and opportunity cost are not included.

For best results, run at least three cases: a conservative case, a middle case, and a stretch case. If a small change in inputs creates a big change in the answer, that is a sign the decision may be sensitive to rates, fees, timing, or market performance.
