Which loan is better?
This calculator will compare two mortgages: one with a lower interest rate and one with fewer points. Place your cursor in the fields and fill in the requested information to the best of your knowledge. Use the tab key on your keyboard to move through the form. Once the required fields are completed, the form will automatically populate with the information you have requested.
Mortgage A (Lower interest rate)		Mortgage B (Fewer points)

If the total cost for each of the two mortgages is reasonably close, choose the one with the lower annual percentage rate (APR). However, if the APR's are close and there is a significant difference in the total cost, you are probably better off choosing the mortgage with the lower long-run cost.
