Many factors determine your 30-year mortgage refinance rate

You can control some things that influence your interest rate, like your financial details. Other things, not so much. Here are some of the factors that impact rates.

Economic

The stock market, the Federal Reserve, inflation and the housing market all affect mortgage rates.

Personal

Your credit profile, your debt compared to your income, and how much you’re borrowing help determine your mortgage rate.

Loan type

Conventional, FHA and VA loans (mortgages for eligible military) are all available as a 30-year mortgage, but often have different rates.

Pros and cons of a 30-year refinance

Pros

Lower your monthly payment by spreading your payments out over a longer term. 

Refinancing to get cash to consolidate debt? A 30-year refi could help keep your mortgage payment lower.

You can get the benefits of lower monthly payments with a 30-year refi and make extra payments to pay it off sooner. There are no prepayment penalties with Rocket Mortgage®.

Cons

There are costs for getting a new mortgage. If the financial benefits you get from refinancing don’t outweigh the costs, it’s probably not the right move.

Your monthly payment will increase if you’re refinancing to take cash out, because your loan amount will increase.

You’ll pay more in interest. When considering your options, we do the math and show you how much more.

30-year refinance rate frequently asked questions

Don’t see your question here? We love helping people understand how rates work and what yours could be. Just talk to us.
What is a 30-year refinance mortgage?

When you refinance, you get a new mortgage that’s used to pay off your previous one. A 30-year home loan is a mortgage that gives you up to 30 years to pay off.

When we say “30-year fixed mortgage” we’re usually talking about a conventional loan. You can also get FHA, VA and jumbo home loans that have a 30-year term.

Whatever kind you get, most 30-year mortgages have a fixed interest rate: it stays the same as long as you have the loan.

Should I refinance into a 30-year mortgage?

It depends on your finances and what you’re hoping to do.

If you started with a 30-year mortgage and have been paying on it for some years, you may be reluctant to start over with another 30-year loan.

But maybe you love where you live, plan on staying there, but want to make some changes to your home. In that case, refinancing to a 30-year loan to get cash out may work for you.

That’s why it’s best to talk about your goals with a Home Loan Expert. They’ll look at all your options and help you understand what’s right for you.

How do I refinance into a 30-year mortgage?

Refinancing is replacing your current mortgage with a new one. The steps are similar to getting a mortgage when you buy a home.

  • Start an application or contact us so we can learn about your goals and your existing mortgage.
  • If refinancing looks right for you, we’ll walk you through your options. These can include refinancing to a 30-year loan.
  • You’ll start the process of getting your mortgage.
  • You may need an appraisal and will likely need to provide some documents.

Closing your loan for a refinance can be more streamlined than buying a home. You may not need any cash at closing because costs are often rolled into the new loan. And many of our clients close from their own home using a computer and smartphone.

How are 30-year refinance rates set?

Home loan interest rates, including 30-year refi rates, are set based on several factors:

  • The economy
  • Decisions made by the Federal Reserve, the central bank of the U.S.
  • Your credit profile
  • The amount you’re refinancing
  • The value of your home
  • The length of your loan

To really understand what your rate will be, apply or talk to a Home Loan Expert.

How do I qualify for a 30-year refinance rate?

Here are some general guidelines that help you qualify for 30-year fixed refinance rates. If you don’t meet them all, are close on some, or you’re a military member, talk to us to see what’s possible.

  • A credit score above 620
  • Less than half your income going to debt
  • Enough equity in your home

Equity is the difference between what you owe on your home and its value. How much is “enough” depends on what you want to do, and the kind of loan you qualify for.

What’s the difference between a 30-year refinance and a 15-year refinance?

Here are some comparisons between having a 30-year term mortgage and a 15-year term mortgage. Remember you may have other options than just 15 and 30. We can help you understand what works best for you.

  • Monthly payment: Higher for a 15-year, lower for a 30-year.
  • Interest paid over the life of the loan: Less for a 15-year, more for a 30-year.
  • Building equity: Faster for a 15-year, slower for a 30-year.
