Refinance break-even

Compare keeping a loan with refinancing, including fees, payments and remaining debt over the same horizon.

Calculation inputs

Calculated on this device. Debt amounts, names and offer inputs are not stored or sent.

Result

Adjust the example inputs, then calculate.

Same starting debt: upfront costs + cumulative payments + terminal debt. Financed fees are not also charged upfront. NPV discounts payments and terminal debt using nominal annual / 12. Lower monthly payments need not mean overall savings. No automatic tax relief or unentered cashback.

How to use this calculator

01

Set the inputs

Enter the outstanding balance, rates and terms for the old and new loans, plus refinancing costs.

02

Check the terms

Use one comparison horizon. Check that end-of-horizon cost includes remaining principal, not only installments paid.

03

Read the result

Read break-even alongside total cost and remaining debt. Lower installments may not recover the refinancing fees.

A worked example

Illustrative calculation

If old and new loan terms are identical but refinancing costs 5,000 THB upfront, the total cost rises by 5,000 THB.

Compare a second scenario

Keep both loans unchanged and increase refinancing fees. Check whether break-even moves later or disappears within the selected horizon.

Common questions

Where does my information go?

Calculations run in your browser. Financial inputs are neither saved locally nor sent to analytics. Reloading restores the initial values.

What are this model’s limitations?

Future promotional-rate resets, unentered expenses and refinance approval are not predicted. Review actual contract terms and penalties.
