Breaking a fixed rate can be pricey, but it might be worth it - here’s everything you need to know
AI summary
A mortgage break fee is a charge for repaying a fixed-rate loan before the term ends. The cost is calculated by your lender and depends on your loan amount, remaining term, and the difference between your rate and current market rates.
While breaking your loan can be costly, it may be worthwhile if the savings from refinancing outweigh the fee. To avoid fees, consider floating loans, making extra payments within allowed limits, or splitting your mortgage into multiple fixed periods.
