Important: Lower payment ≠ lower cost

Rolling short-term debt (credit cards, auto loans) into a 30-year mortgage extends their repayment window dramatically. Even at a lower rate, you may pay significantly more in total interest. Review the lifetime comparison above before deciding.

The short answer

Should I consolidate debt into my mortgage?

It lowers your monthly payment when your mortgage rate is well below your card and loan rates. The catch is term: moving a 5-year debt onto a 30-year mortgage can cost more in total interest even at a lower rate, and it converts unsecured debt into debt secured by your home. This calculator shows both the monthly and the lifetime figure.
