Explanation

This calculator analyzes the interest and tax savings associated with consolidating credit accounts into a home equity loan. Based on the costs of the loan, a break even period is calculated to figure how long it will take before your savings equal the costs of obtaining the consolidation loan. Consolidation loans can significantly decrease the required monthly payment as it is amortized over a long period of time. This calculator figures how long it will take to pay off the consolidation loan if you make a payment equal to your total monthly payments before consolidating.
