5 MINUTES COULD SAVE YOU $5,000 OR MORE!
"I am proud to say I finally worked with a loan officer that was on my side. My loan officer at 800775LOAN.com was able to inform me of when the best time to refinance would be, not attempt to push me into a loan right away. The advice to wait ended up saving me a few thousand dollars!"

This calculator is designed to help determine whether using a mortgage to consolidate your debt is right for you. Enter your credit cards, installment loans and the mortgages you wish to consolidate by clicking on the "Enter Data" button for each category. Then change the consolidated mortgage loan amount, term or rate to create a loan that will work within your budget. Click the "View Report" button for detailed results.
Original or expected balance for your mortgage. Taxpayers can deduct the interest paid on first and second mortgages up to $1,000,000 in mortgage debt (the limit is $500,000 if married and filing separately). Any interest paid on first or second mortgages over this amount is not tax deductible. Home equity loans are limited to $100,000 or the amount of equity you have in your home. Our calculator limits your interest deduction to the interest payment that would be paid on a $1,000,000 mortgage. Please note that in addition to the $1,000,000 mortgage debt limit; this calculator assumes that your itemized deductions will exceed the standard deduction for your income tax filing status. If your itemized deductions don't exceed your standard deduction, the benefit of deducting the interest on your home will be reduced or eliminated. For 2009, the standard deductions are $11,400 for married couples filing jointly, $5,700 for married couples filing separately and singles, and $8,350 for heads of household. You should also be aware that the total tax savings may be less for higher incomes that have their allowable itemized deductions phased out. We also do not consider any tax savings you might have previously had if you are consolidating an existing mortgage.

Your total current balances for your credit cards, auto loans and other loans.
The average annual percentage rate you pay. This interest rate is calculated for each of the categories of debt you have including credit cards, auto loans and other installment loans. For credit cards the rate you enter is used to calculate the interest on all future credit card payments. The length of time to pay off this credit card may be much greater than calculated if you enter a low promotional interest rate that is only good for a short period of time.
This is your initial monthly payment. For credit cards, if you checked the "use credit card minimum payments" box, your monthly payment is calculated as 4% of your current outstanding balance. With the "use credit card minimum payments" box checked, your monthly payment will decrease as your balance is paid down. This can greatly increase the length of time it takes to pay off your credit cards. Uncheck this box to enter your own monthly payment that will remain the same until your balance is paid in full.
(We calculate your minimum monthly payment as 4% of your current outstanding balance. While your actual minimum monthly payment may be slightly different, this is one of the most common methods used by credit card companies to calculate minimum payments.)
