Mortgage recast scenario

Compare payment reduction when a lump sum is followed by re-amortization at the same rate.

Starting values are illustrative scenarios, not local prices, rates, fees or eligibility rules. Enter the figures for your own situation.

Recasting is subject to lender/product rules; making an extra payment alone does not establish a recast or lower the required payment.

A SMALL CHANGE / A DIFFERENT VIEW

Another $10,000 toward principal

Modeled post-recast P&I

Current scenario$2,093
Changed assumption$2,026

One assumption changes; everything else stays the same. This is a stress scenario, not a forecast.

READ THE RESULT

What the numbers are telling you.

  1. A recast is a lender/product action, not an automatic consequence of sending extra money.
  2. The modeled reduction uses the same interest rate and remaining months.
  3. The lump sum and recast fee both use cash; preserve the reserve you need.
A GOOD QUESTION

How is a recast different from refinancing?

This recast scenario keeps the existing rate and remaining term while re-amortizing a smaller balance. A refinance generally replaces the loan with new terms and costs.

The calculation

Re-amortize the reduced balance at the same rate over the remaining term.

Before acting on the result

Recasting is subject to lender/product rules; making an extra payment alone does not establish a recast or lower the required payment.

Use actual property documents, matching lender estimates and qualified advice where needed. No calculator, API or MCP tool here issues an approval or guarantees a rate.
