Points Calculator
Should I pay points?
Points, sometimes referred to as loan discount points, are prepaid interest on your loan. Homebuyers will often pay points to lower the interest rate and save on taxes, since points are usually tax deductible as interest. You may want to follow this rule of thumb: the longer you intend to keep the loan, the more points you should consider.
