Important information regarding the use of our mortgage calculators and educational tools
Last Updated: March 2026
The Todd Hanley Mortgage Team website and its associated mortgage calculators are provided strictly as educational resources and estimation tools. The content on this site is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be construed as financial, legal, tax, or professional advice of any kind. Every borrower's situation is unique, and we strongly recommend consulting directly with a licensed mortgage professional before making any financial decisions based on calculator outputs or information presented on this website.
Nothing on this website constitutes a loan application, pre-approval, pre-qualification, commitment to lend, rate lock agreement, or binding offer of any kind. Using any calculator on this site does not create a lender-borrower relationship, does not obligate Todd Hanley Mortgage Team or United Direct Lending to extend credit, and does not guarantee that you will qualify for any particular loan program, rate, or term. A formal loan application with full documentation, credit review, and underwriting analysis is required before any lending commitment can be made.
All calculator results displayed on this site are estimates generated for illustrative and educational purposes only. Actual loan terms, interest rates, monthly payments, closing costs, and total financing costs will vary based on your individual circumstances, including but not limited to:
Calculator outputs should be treated as starting points for discussion rather than definitive figures.
All monthly payment figures generated by our calculators represent Principal and Interest (P&I) only. These figures do not include additional costs that will be part of your actual monthly housing obligation, such as:
Your actual total monthly payment, often referred to as PITI (Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance), may be substantially higher than the P&I figure shown in our calculators. Please contact us directly for a comprehensive payment estimate that includes all applicable costs.
Interest rates displayed on this website, including those labeled as "Sample Market Pricing" or similar descriptions, are provided as illustrative examples based on a specific set of qualifying assumptions. Unless otherwise noted, sample rates assume the following borrower and loan profile:
Your actual interest rate may differ significantly from any sample rate shown. Rate adjustments (also known as loan-level price adjustments, or LLPAs) may apply based on your credit profile, property characteristics, loan purpose, and other factors determined by the investor or government-sponsored enterprise purchasing the loan.
Cash-out refinance transactions typically carry rates that are 0.125% to 0.50% higher than comparable rate-and-term refinance transactions due to additional risk pricing by lenders and investors.
Where our calculators provide estimated closing costs, those figures are approximations based on typical fee ranges for the selected loan type and scenario. Actual closing costs will be determined during the formal loan process and disclosed to you on your official Loan Estimate and Closing Disclosure documents.
By default, several of our calculators assume that estimated closing costs are financed (rolled into) the new loan amount. Financing closing costs increases your total loan balance and the total amount of interest you will pay over the life of the loan. You may elect to pay closing costs out of pocket at settlement to avoid increasing your loan balance. Ask us about the trade-offs for your specific situation.
Refinancing your existing mortgage into a new 30-year term (or any term that extends beyond the remaining years on your current loan) may result in a lower monthly payment but can increase the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan. For example, if you are 10 years into a 30-year mortgage and refinance into a new 30-year term, you are effectively resetting your amortization schedule to a 30-year payoff horizon.
We encourage borrowers to evaluate both the monthly payment reduction and the long-term cost implications before proceeding with a refinance. Shorter loan terms (such as 15-year or 20-year fixed) may offer lower interest rates and substantially less total interest paid, even if the monthly payment is higher than a 30-year option.
Where our calculators display estimated monthly savings, those figures are calculated by comparing your current mortgage principal and interest payment (plus any listed debt payments, if applicable in a debt consolidation scenario) against the projected new mortgage principal and interest payment. These savings comparisons are simplified illustrations and exclude the following from both sides of the comparison:
Actual net savings may be higher or lower than the figures shown depending on changes in your tax and insurance costs, the addition or removal of mortgage insurance, and other factors specific to your new loan.

Our online mortgage calculators do not collect, require, or request your Social Security Number (SSN) at any point. All calculator estimates are generated based on the inputs you provide (such as loan amount, interest rate, and property value) without accessing your credit report or personal financial records.
Should you decide to move forward with a formal mortgage application after reviewing your calculator results, a Social Security Number and authorization for a hard credit inquiry will be required as part of the standard loan application and underwriting process. A hard credit inquiry may temporarily affect your credit score.
Mortgage lending is regulated at both the federal and state level. Specific disclosure requirements, fee limitations, licensing obligations, and consumer protections may vary depending on the state in which the subject property is located and/or the state in which the borrower resides. Borrowers in Florida, Texas, and New Jersey should be aware that additional state-specific disclosures may apply to their transaction and will be provided during the formal loan application process.
The calculators on this website use general assumptions that may not fully account for state-specific regulations such as intangible tax (FL), Texas Section 50(a)(6) home equity lending restrictions, or New Jersey mortgage broker fee limitations. Please consult with your loan officer to understand how state-specific rules may affect your particular loan scenario.
If you have any questions about the information presented on this website, the limitations of our calculator tools, or your specific mortgage needs, we are here to help.
