About Refi Reckoner

Publisher and purpose

Refi Reckoner is published and maintained by zeitgeber. It is a free educational calculator for comparing a current fixed-rate mortgage with a possible refinance. It is not a lender, broker, loan offer, or financial adviser.

Editorial policy

We write for homeowners making a refinance decision. Factual mortgage explanations link to primary consumer-protection or government sources. Illustrative calculations state their assumptions and are not forecasts. Content is updated when the calculator or cited guidance materially changes.

No content is reviewed by a licensed financial professional. Confirm rates, payoff amounts, insurance, fees, and eligibility with your servicer and prospective lender.
