How to calculate mortgage recast


Recasting your mortgage involves deducting a lump sum amount from your current principal balance. Once you've done that you'll apply your current interest rate and divide by the remaining monthly payments to come up with your new principal balance and monthly payment totals. Here's a quick breakdown of the process.


  1. Subtract your lump sum payment from your current principal


  2. Apply your current interest rate, i.e. 3.5% to the remainder of the original loan


  3. Divide this my your remaining payments to come up with your new monthly payment


Benefits of Mortgage Recasting


Though recasting in and of itself does not alter your interest rates, taxes, HOA fees, or the other ridiculous home ownership costs, it does reduce your monthly payment. By giving your principal balance some much needed ozempic and reducing its weight, you'll in turn save hundreds of dollars each month.


In addition to this, your credit profile will be stronger as you'll have signficantly less debt to contend with. This will make you much less risky to potential lenders. Overall, the main benefit to mortgage recasting is the buff to your buying power.
