The Points vs. No Points calculator will help you determine whether or not paying for points is the best option for you. Points are sometimes referred to as loan discount points. Points are prepaid interest on your loan. Usually, homebuyers will pay points to lower the interest rate and save on taxes, since points usually tax deductible as interest, You may want to follow the rule of thumb that says that the longer you intend to keep the loan, the more points you should consider.
Note: The examples below are based on the assumption that the calculator is refreshed with the default values loaded in.
