Common Use Cases

Refinance Analysis
Calculate if refinancing saves money after closing costs. Find your breakeven point: how long until savings exceed refinance fees.
Retirement Planning

Loan Comparison
Compare auto loans with different terms and rates. Understand total interest costs beyond just monthly payment.
Financial Planning Tips
- • Mortgage: PMI required if down payment under 20% - factor this into monthly costs
- • FHA loans: Include both upfront MIP (1.75%) and annual MIP in calculations
- • Refinance: Closing costs typically 2-5% of loan - calculate breakeven carefully
- • 15-year mortgage: Higher payment but saves ~50% in total interest vs 30-year
- • Retirement: 4% rule suggests you need 25x annual expenses saved
- • Compare multiple scenarios - small rate differences mean thousands over loan life
