Mortgage Points Breakeven Calculator
The exact math that separates smart borrowers from those who quietly lose six figures.

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.
