A cash-out refinance replaces your whole mortgage, so closing costs apply to the full loan.
How cash-out refinance is calculated
Lenders cap your new loan at a percentage of the home’s value. Your available cash is that cap minus what you still owe:
max loan = home value × max LTV% cash out = max loan − current mortgage balance new payment = (balance + cash) amortized at the new rate
Closing costs apply to the full new loan, so a refinance is usually worth it only when the new rate is at or below your current one, or you need a large amount of cash.
Compare cash-out refinance rates
Since you’re refinancing the whole balance, even a small rate difference moves your payment a lot. Comparing multiple lenders is the single biggest factor in your cost.

Frequently asked questions
How much cash can I get from a cash-out refinance?+
Most lenders let you refinance up to 80% of your home's value (the loan-to-value cap). Your cash equals that maximum loan minus your current mortgage balance. For example, on a $450,000 home at an 80% LTV cap, the maximum loan is $360,000; if you owe $250,000, you could take up to $110,000 in cash.
How does a cash-out refinance differ from a HELOC?+
A cash-out refinance replaces your entire mortgage with a new, larger one and you pocket the difference. A HELOC or home equity loan is a second loan on top of your existing mortgage. A refinance resets your rate and term on the whole balance, so it makes most sense when new rates are at or below your current rate.
What are the costs of a cash-out refinance?+
Because you refinance the full mortgage, closing costs (typically 2–5% of the new loan) apply to the entire balance, not just the cash you take. That's a key reason a HELOC can be cheaper when you only need a small amount.
Will a cash-out refinance raise my monthly payment?+
It can. You're borrowing more, so the payment depends on the new balance, rate and term. A lower rate or longer term can offset the larger balance — this calculator shows the new monthly payment so you can compare.
