Planning estimate

01

How this estimate works

Applies the hypothetical basis-point change to a 30-year fixed-rate payment and shows the five-year payment difference. Markets can move up or down; a holiday does not itself cause a specific rate change.

02

Before you act on the result

This tool is educational and does not evaluate credit, income documentation, assets, reserves, property eligibility, program limits or current pricing. It is not an approval, rate quote, commitment to lend or Loan Estimate. Use current lender terms and verified property information for a real decision.

Frequently asked questions

Do holidays automatically raise mortgage rates?
No. The tool only measures sensitivity to a hypothetical market move during a delay.
What is a basis point?
One basis point is 0.01 percentage point, so 25 basis points equals 0.25 percentage point.
Should I lock solely because of a holiday?
No. Lock timing should reflect closing certainty, market risk, available terms and your tolerance for payment changes.
Accuracy and licensing noteProgram details vary by borrower, property, location and date. Confirm current LMCU terms, property-state availability, licensing and eligibility before making a financing decision. All loans are subject to credit and property approval.
