How do mortgage points work?

Mortgage points, also known as discount points, are a form of prepaid interest. You can choose to pay a percentage of the interest up front to lower your interest rate and monthly payment. A mortgage point is equal to 1 percent of your total loan amount. For example, on a $100,000 loan, one point would be $1,000. Learn more about what mortgage points are and determine whether “buying points” is a good option for you.
