This calculator will help you to decide whether or not you should consolidate your debt at a lower,
tax deductible interest rate with a home equity loan or second mortgage. It will also calculate how
many months it will take to break even on the closing costs. Remember - your first mortgage will
not change.
If you include your first mortgage in the consolidation, you can take cash out up to 100% of the
value of your home. If you do - change the mortgage rate to today's rates +.125% for a cash out
refinance, instead of prime rate, and change the term to 30 years.
Note: When entering numbers into the data fields only use numbers and applicable decimal points.
Entering commas, dollar signs, or any other non-numeric characters will cause an error.
Also please note that this calculator has been tested to work with Internet Explorer 3.01 and
Netscape Navigator 3.01 web browsers. However, both must have the JavaScript option turned on.
