Mortgage

Mortgage points calculator


Calculate your payment and more

Buying mortgage points when you close can reduce the interest rate, which in turn reduces the monthly payment. But each point will cost 1 percent of your mortgage balance. This mortgage points calculator helps determine if you should pay for points or use the money to increase the down payment. Click on the "View Report" button to calculate the information.
