[2] How much money was your existing mortgage (loan) for?
[3] What is your current monthly payment on your existing mortgage? Note: Carry at least 4 decimal places during calculations, but round your final answer to the nearest cent.
[4] How much total interest will you pay over the life of the existing loan?

(i.e, how much have you reduced the loan balance by?
[6] How much money have you paid to the loan company so far (over the last 15 years)?
[7] How much interest have you paid so far (over the last 15 years)?
[8] How much equity do you have in your home (equity is value minus remaining debt)?
[9] Since interest rates have dropped, you consider refinancing your mortgage at a lower 3% rate. If you took out a new 30 year mortgage at3% for your remaining loan balance, what would your new monthly payments be?
