However, the key is figuring out exactly how much it will <em>actually <\/em>save you.<\/p>\n<p>One last item to note, if you haven&#8217;t read our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/refinancing-student-loans-ultimate-guide\/\">student loan refinance guide<\/a> I suggest doing that first before continuing on.<\/p>\n<h2>Avoid Bad Student Loan Refinance Calculators<\/h2>\n<p>There are two main flaws with most student loan refinance calculators on the web.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll touch on it briefly below. However, you can read more details on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/articles\/student-loan-refinancing-mistakes\/\">how to avoid the 3 largest refinance mistakes in this article.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Most student loan refinance calculators tell you how much refinancing saves you or cost you. However,\u00a0 it&#8217;s heavily skewed. For example, if its showing you savings these calculators will over estimate how much you will save.<\/p>\n<p>The primary flaw in these student loan refinance calculators stems from an apples-to-oranges comparison.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you currently may be in a 10 year loan but you get a refinance quote for a 5 year loan.\u00a0 They may show you saving something like $40,000.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 5 year loan is going to have a much higher required payment.\u00a0 Therefore, most of the savings is due to you paying more each month not the lower interest rate.<\/p>\n<p>Below I&#8217;m going to show you how to correct this mistake.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll be using FitBUX&#8217;s student loan refinance calculator to do so.<\/p>\n<h2>How To Use Our Student Loan Refinance Calculator<\/h2>\n<p>FitBUX&#8217;s student loan refinance calculator can be used to do two calculations:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Helping you to decide if you should refinance your current loans by comparing your refinance options to your current loans<\/li>\n<li>If you are going to refinance, comparing your refinance offers<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Below I detail both.<\/p>\n<h3>Refinancing Offer Vs Your Current Loans<\/h3>\n<h4><strong>Step 1<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Create a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitbux.com\/\">FitBUX<\/a> account and input all necessary information such as your student loans.
