Although your monthly payments are higher with a refinance, you can still save money in total interest paid.A 'traditional' breakeven analysis calculates all costs associated with a refinancing and divides by the monthly payment savings achieved by refinancing. Although the 'traditional' method does a good job evaluating when you might make your money back it ignores one key factor-your new mortgage will probably now have a longer term than your existing one.To overcome this discrepancy, we suggest that you increase your monthly payment on your refinanced loan slightly until the refinanced loan pays off at the same time as the existing mortgage - 'enhanced' refinance. Your monthly payment will be slightly higher than the 'traditional' refinance, but your mortgage will pay off faster and you will reduce your overall interest paid.
