Cash-Out Refinance Calculator

Cash extracted and new payment after refinance.

Calculate cash extracted and new monthly payment after a cash-out refinance. Enter home value and mortgage balance to see cash out and new payment.

What this tool does

A cash-out refinance replaces an existing mortgage with a larger one and releases the difference as usable funds. This calculator estimates two key outputs: the cash amount you could extract and your new monthly payment. It models the scenario by taking your home's current value, what you still owe, your desired loan-to-value ratio, the new interest rate, and the repayment term. The cash released depends primarily on your home value and how much equity you have above the new loan amount. The monthly payment is driven by the new loan size, rate, and term length. This tool illustrates the mechanics of refinancing for educational purposes and assumes standard lending calculations. It does not account for closing costs, fees, tax implications, or changes in property value over time.

500,000 home, 200,000 current balance, refinancing to 70% LTV (350,000 new loan) at 5.5% over 30 years: 150,000 cash out, new monthly 1,987. Cash-out gives liquidity via home equity but extends debt and adds interest. Cash-out is sometimes used for purposes such as renovation or investment.

Quick example

With home value of 500,000 and current mortgage balance of 200,000 (plus new ltv of 70% and new rate of 5.5%), the result is 150,000.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.

Which inputs matter most

You enter Home Value, Current Mortgage Balance, New LTV, New Rate, and New Term. Not every input has equal weight. Adjusting one input at a time toward extreme values shows which ones move the result most.

What's happening under the hood

Standard refinance mechanics. The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.

Stress-testing the plan

Run the calculation at your current rate, then run it again at a rate 2–3 percentage points higher. That's roughly what a product reset could bring at renewal, and it shows how the payment would look in a higher-rate world, not just today's.

What this doesn't capture

The figure shown reflects the core calculation; additional costs such as arrangement fees, valuation, legal fees, insurance, and any early-repayment charges (where applicable) sit on top and can add materially to the total cost of borrowing. Rates and product terms can also change over the life of the loan, which can shift the picture relative to this fixed-snapshot estimate.

Where to go next

This calculation rarely sits alone in a planning exercise. If you're running these numbers, you'll probably also want the home equity calculator, the mortgage recast calculator, and the refinance breakeven date calculator — each one answers a different question in the same territory. Treating them as a set rather than in isolation usually produces a more honest picture.

Example Scenario

Refinancing at 5.5% over 30 years on a £500,000 home yields $150,000.00 in extracted cash, with a new monthly payment ($1,987.26).

Inputs

Home Value:£500,000
Current Mortgage Balance:£200,000
New LTV:70%
New Rate:5.5%
New Term:30
Expected Result$150,000.00
New Loan Amount$350,000.00
New Monthly Payment$1,987.26
Home Value$500,000.00
New LTV70.00%

Sources & Methodology

Methodology

The calculator determines cash extracted by applying the new loan-to-value ratio to your home's estimated value, then subtracting your current mortgage balance. The new monthly payment is computed using the standard amortization formula, which accounts for the new loan amount, interest rate, and repayment term. The model assumes a fixed interest rate held constant over the full term, equal monthly payments, and no prepayment penalties or additional fees. It does not model closing costs, property taxes, insurance, prepayment scenarios, or the effect of rate changes. Results reflect mechanical calculations based on inputs provided and should be verified against actual lender quotes.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does cash-out make sense?
The cost is lowest when the new rate is at or below the current mortgage rate, because the extra borrowing then costs no more per unit than the existing loan. Cash directed toward something that holds or builds value (home improvement, or consolidating higher-rate debt) changes the trade-off compared with funding day-to-day spending. The calculator makes the new payment and cash released explicit, so the cost is visible.
Closing costs?
Closing costs are often cited as roughly 2-5% of the new loan amount. They reduce the net cash actually extracted.
Versus home equity loan?
Cash-out refinances whole mortgage. HEL/HELOC sits alongside. Cash-out better if new rate lower than current.
Tax impact?
Cash-out proceeds are generally not treated as taxable income. Whether the interest is deductible depends on your jurisdiction and how the funds are used, so local tax rules apply.
