Frequently Asked Questions

Should I include points?

Add points into closing costs to see a true break-even; lower rates often cost points.

How accurate is this estimate?

Rates are approximate state or national reference values. Local rates, exemptions and rules can differ, so treat the output as a planning figure only.
