Mortgage Credit Impact Simulator
Mortgage pricing follows a published grid based on your credit-score band, your loan-to-value, and a handful of property and loan-feature add-ons. Adjust the inputs to see what each piece is worth in rate, monthly payment, and lifetime interest.
Your scenario
Purchase price for a buy, current value for a refinance
Implied down payment: $100,000 (20.0%). LTV 80.0% (75.01% to 80%)
Mainstream pricing tier
Illustrative example rate. Not an available or quoted rate. The undiscounted rate before LLPAs.
Loan amount above the conforming limit in your county
A second lien (HELOC or piggy-back) behind the first mortgage
Plain-English summary
At 680 to 699, your total LLPA is 1.75 pts which translates to about 7.438%. Moving to 700 to 719 would save roughly $17 per month and $6,141 over the life of the loan, before any other lender or program differences.
