Should I Consolidate My Debts?
This loan calculator will show you how much you will save by paying off your debts with a debt consolidation loan. By consolidating you generally save in two ways: 1) Since mortgage interest is deductible, and most credit cards, auto loans, etc are not, you get a tax savings boost. 2) Also, a mortgage typically has a lower interest rate than most credit cards and other loans, so you're paying less interest, which is a good thing.
Enter all debts you wish to consolidate (Mortgage, Auto, credit cards, student loans, etc.)
NOTE:
Enter principal & interest for 1st mortgage payment
