Mortgage Points Calculator

Mortgage Points Calculator

Decide between buying points or a bigger down payment.

What This Number Means

This comparison is only one part of the decision. Before you buy points, consider:

  • Whether buying points saves more than a bigger down payment

  • How long it takes to recoup the cost of points

  • How much the points lower your monthly payment

  • Whether your time in the home justifies buying points

  • Which option leaves you better off over your expected timeline

3

Include your expected time in the home: Enter how long you plan to stay in the property.

Review the comparison: See whether buying points or a bigger down payment saves more.
