About this calculator

Banks calculate break fees confidentially using their own swap-rate methodology. This is a back-of-envelope estimator only.

  • Break fee ≈ outstanding × (your rate − current market rate) × remaining months/12.
  • Always get the bank's formal quote before refinancing.

Frequently asked questions

Why might a bank quote double this?
Banks use the swap rate at your loan start and end dates, plus a margin. The result varies materially with their internal cost-of-funds.
