Scenario Breakdown
If you are renewing or refinancing a remaining mortgage balance of $600,000 at a current interest rate of 5.25%, your new estimated payment will be $3,576 (monthly).
Since this is a renewal and not a new purchase, Land Transfer Tax (LTT) does not apply. Your primary costs will be the principal and interest payments, along with any potential legal or appraisal fees if you are switching lenders (typically $1,000 - $1,500).
Over the remaining 25 years of this mortgage, you can expect to pay a total of $472,652 in interest, assuming the rate remains constant.
Use the prepayments tab in the calculator above to see how adding small monthly increases or annual lump-sum payments can drastically cut down this interest and help you become debt-free faster.
