Refinancing your mortgage can be a smart financial move, potentially saving you money on your monthly mortgage payment or on total interest over the life of your loan. You’ll also want to decide if refinancing makes sense financially by weighing any money you’ll save against the cost of the refinancing the loan.

1. Lower Interest Rate: General rule of thumb says to refinance your mortgage if your new rate is 1% or more below your current rate.
2. Improve credit score: Your credit is a significant factor in determining your mortgage rate. Generally, the better your credit is, the lower the interest rate you’ll receive. If your credit has improved since securing your home loan, it is worth looking to see if you can refinance to a lower interest rate. 
3. Shorter loan term: If you’re looking to pay your mortgage down quickly, you may want to refinance to a shorter loan term. You’ll find additional savings if you can secure a lower interest rate and shorten your term. A shorter loan term means you’ll pay less in total interest, but you’ll probably be increasing your monthly payment in exchange, so make sure it fits into your budget.  
4. Increased home value: If the value of your home has gone up, you might also get some benefit from refinancing, especially if you have paying Private Mortgage Insurance (also known as PMI). If you purchased a home and did not have 20% or more down payment, you are likely paying PMI as part of your monthly payment. If you home value has increased, you can refinance your mortgage and potentially lower or completely remove PMI from your monthly payment. Generally, you would be looking to have your loan amount compared to home appraised value or LTV to be under 80% to remove PMI. 
5. Cash out refinance: A cash-out refinance allows you to take out a loan amount that’s larger than what you previously owed on your original mortgage, and you receive the difference in cash. A cash-out refi is an alternative to a home equity loan. You also might consider a cash-out refi for home improvements, consolidating other debts, or to pay for a child’s education.
