Is the Mortgage Points Calculator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no usage limits.
Does it use a specific currency?
No. Amounts are currency-neutral and use the same unit across all inputs, so it works in any country.
How much does a mortgage point cost?
One point is 1% of the loan amount, so 2 points on $350,000 is $7,000. Each point typically lowers the rate by around 0.25%, but lenders price it differently.
When are points worth it?
When you keep the loan past the break-even. Dropping from 7% to 6.5% saves $116.32 a month, so $7,000 of points breaks even after 5 years 1 month. Selling or refinancing sooner loses money.
