How Refinancing Works

Refinancing involves replacing your existing mortgage with a new loan. The key benefits include:

Lower interest rates
Reduced monthly payments
Potential loan term reduction
Cash-out options (if eligible)

Mortgage Payment Formula

The monthly payment (P) is calculated using:

P = L × [r(1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n - 1]

Where:

L = Loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (APR/12)
n = Number of payments (term in months)

Refinancing typically requires good credit, proof of income, and meeting USAA's eligibility criteria.

Current Loan	Refinanced Loan
Amount: $200,000	Amount: $200,000
