Points are fees that are charged by a lender in order to reduce the interest rate on your loan (1 point = 1% of the loan amount, 2 points = 2% of the loan amount etc.) Typically, buyers compare the difference in the monthly payment and divide the dollar cost of the points to reach a break even point. Points may also be used to buy out a prepayment penalty, when applicable, giving the borrower the freedom to refinance as interest rates decrease.
