    Mortgage Points Breakeven Calculator

    The exact math that separates smart borrowers from those who quietly lose six figures.

    I’m Jaxon Forge, founder of MoneyForged.com. I used to think “points” were just another bank fee. Then I ran the numbers on my first big mortgage and realized the truth: most people buy points without ever knowing the breakeven. This calculator ends that guesswork forever.

    Calculate Your Mortgage Points Breakeven

    Jaxon Forge’s Take: Why This Calculator Matters

    Most people chase “balance” and end up paying the bank thousands extra every year. I learned this the hard way on my first investment property. Bought points without running the math — turned out the breakeven was 9 years. I would have been better off putting that cash into a boring index fund. Discipline tax paid early beats regret forever.
