Resetting to a longer term can lower the payment yet raise lifetime interest — check both numbers.

When refinancing wins

The classic threshold is a rate drop of 0.75–1%+ with plans to stay past the break-even point (closing costs ÷ monthly savings). Staying 5+ years with a 1.25% drop on a $300k balance typically saves tens of thousands.

The term-reset trap

Refinancing 27 remaining years into a fresh 30-year loan lowers the payment partly by adding three years of interest. To compare honestly, either match the new term to your remaining years or compare lifetime totals — this calculator shows both.
