What is a Blended Mortgage Rate?

A blended rate combines your existing mortgage rate with a new rate, weighted by the balances of each portion.

Avoid Prepayment Penalties

Breaking your mortgage early can cost thousands. Blending lets you keep your existing rate on your current balance while adding new funds.

Access Your Home Equity

Need funds for renovations, investments, or debt consolidation? A blend-and-extend lets you tap equity without refinancing.

Extend Your Term Early

Lock in today's rates before they potentially rise. Many lenders allow early renewals with blended rates up to 120 days before maturity.

Simple Calculation

The blended rate is calculated by weighting each rate by its balance proportion over the new term length.

How is the Blended Rate Calculated?

Blended Rate Formula:

(Balance₁ × Rate₁ × Months₁ + Balance₂ × Rate₂ × Months₂) ÷ (Total Balance × New Term)

Balance₁

Your existing mortgage balance

Rate₁ & Rate₂

Your current rate and new market rate

Months

Remaining term vs. new term months
