Can refinancing lower my monthly payment?

Straight answer

It can. Refinancing may lower your monthly payment if you qualify for a lower rate or extend your term. A longer term reduces the monthly amount but can increase the total interest you pay. The actual result depends on the offer a provider makes. Use the refinance tool to compare an example new scenario against your current loan.

What matters most

  • A lower rate can reduce your monthly payment.
  • A longer term lowers the payment but may raise total interest.
  • Actual savings depend on the provider's offer.
  • Comparing scenarios shows the potential difference.
