How to use the calculator
A simple three-step process: enter the loan balance, choose the term and add APRs for the current loan plus two refinancing offers. We translate APR into an effective monthly rate to estimate payments and total cost.
- Gather the remaining balance and years left on the mortgage.
- Note the APR from disclosure documents for the current loan and new offers.
- Include mandatory insurance – enter APR after adding premiums and fees.
Lightning mode focuses on a quick comparison of payments and total cost across three APR inputs. Export the results to build a negotiation sheet or share with an advisor.

Why compare APR?
APR bundles all credit costs – nominal interest, commissions, insurance and extras. Looking only at rates can hide expensive premiums or premium accounts. We therefore rely on APR and convert it to a monthly payment.
If the bank requires life, accident or property insurance, ask for monthly premiums. Add them to avoid surprises after signing the contract.
What to do after the quick check?
- Negotiate insurance: ask whether you can move an existing policy or bring your own – it often cuts APR more than the margin itself.
- Verify upfront costs: a lower payment can still cost more when commissions and notary fees are high. Save the result and compare it during talks with your advisor.
- Track WIBOR/WIRON: base rate changes move future APRs – rerun the analysis whenever banks update their tables.
