How it works and an example to tryShow less

How to use the result

Payments at both rates are computed over the remaining term. Interest over the new deal period is compared; fees and the early repayment charge are subtracted; break-even divides one-off costs by the monthly saving.

Example to try

Switching £210,000 from 6.2% to 4.6% over a five-year deal saves about £16,400 of interest against £1,200 of fees: a net £15,200, breaking even in six months.
