Area chart titled "Recover your $6,500 by month 22," showing cumulative savings from refinancing a $350,000 mortgage from 7.5% to 6.55%. The monthly payment drops $298.81. The line starts at negative $6,500 at closing, the upfront cost, then climbs as the monthly savings add up. It crosses $0 at month 22, the break-even point marked by a dashed vertical line: below zero you are still repaying closing costs, above it every month is net savings. By month 60 cumulative savings reach roughly $11,500. Four summary cards read: monthly savings $298.81 off your payment, break-even month 22, closing costs $6,500 paid upfront, and interest saved $24,311 over the first 5 years.
Horizontal bar chart titled "Your debt-to-income against mortgage program limits," based on $6,978/month income, $1,000 in monthly debt, and a $3,246 housing payment. The top bar, back-end DTI (all debts plus housing), reaches 60.9%, far past every limit marked on it: 36% Conventional, 41% VA/USDA, and 43% FHA. The bottom bar, front-end DTI (housing only), reaches 46.5%, above the 28% Conventional, 29% USDA, and 31% FHA caps (VA has no front-end cap). Four summary cards read: back-end DTI 60.9% (over all four limits); front-end DTI 46.5% (housing alone, cap is 28%); closest program FHA, $1,246 per month from qualifying; and path to qualify n/a, since no single adjustment reaches a program.
Bar chart titled "Your $35,000 fund lasts 6 months." Starting from $35,000 in liquid savings with $6,545/month in essential spending, $0 income, and 0% inflation, each bar shows the fund remaining at month end: about $28,500 (month 1), $21,800 (month 2), $15,300 (month 3, marked "half the fund gone"), $8,800 (month 4), $2,300 (month 5), and $0 (month 6, marked "fund empty"). Summary stats: runway 6 months, starting fund $35,000, net burn $6,545 per month, monthly income $0. Assumes 0% yield and excludes any severance or time-limited benefits.
Cumulative-cost chart for a $28,000 used-auto loan at 11.5% over 6 years (72 months). Summary cards read: payoff July 2032 at $540 a month, $38,891 total paid, $10,891 total interest, and 28% of all payments going to interest. The area graph plots cumulative dollars paid over six years in two stacked bands, principal on the bottom and interest on top, both climbing steadily to year six, with a marker near 3.5 years where half the principal is paid.
Bar chart: 'Auto-removal is 43 months and $6,194 away. Two faster exits exist.' Compares PMI-removal timing on a $298K balance / $410K home (~73% loan-to-value). Waiting for automatic PMI removal takes 43 more months and costs $6,194; a fresh appraisal now removes PMI immediately, saving about $4,370 — an effective 12.5% return.
Bar chart from senaro.ai titled "$2,000 cash advance → $8,313 over 87 months." A $2,000 cash advance ends up costing $8,313 total (416% of the original) and takes 87 months to clear. A horizontal stacked bar splits the total into $2,000 original principal, a small cash-advance fee, and $6,213 in interest. Callouts note the balance grows by $48.33 a month despite payments, and the advance cost $100 in fees before interest even started.
Line chart titled "At $415K and 6.49%, renting and investing wins." It compares 30-year net worth for renting while investing the difference (green line) versus buying a $415K home with 20% down at a 6.49% mortgage (blue line). The green rent-and-invest line rises to about $2.57M by year 30; the blue buy-equity line reaches about $1.35M. The two never cross, so the renter is $1,227,156 ahead at year 30, assuming a 10% investment return. Labels note the renter is ahead $36,856 at year 5 and there is no crossover within 30 years.
Horizontal bar chart comparing the total cost to clear $21,500 of credit card debt two ways. Keeping the 3 cards over 56 months costs $35,459 total. An 11.4% consolidation loan over 48 months costs $28,217 total, which includes a $1,075 origination fee, so it costs $7,242 less. Four summary figures at the top: you save $7,242 versus keeping the cards, debt free by July 2030 which is 8 months sooner, new monthly payment of $588 which is $45 less per month, and $8,317 less interest. Each bar is split into principal, origination fee, and interest. A caption warns about reracking risk: carrying the consolidation loan and new card balances at the same time is why consolidation backfires, so freeze or cut up the cards after you consolidate.
Line chart titled "30-year plus investing beats the 15-year," comparing net worth over 30 years for a 30-year mortgage at 6.43% versus a 15-year at 5.79%. Four summary figures across the top: net worth at year 30 is $2,021,429 (30-year home equity plus investments); ahead by $407,026 versus the 15-year; monthly difference of $704 (the 30-year costs less per month); assumed investment return of 10%. The dark green line — 30-year home equity plus investing the $704 monthly difference — ends highest at about $2M, above the orange dashed 15-year line at roughly $1.6M. Plain home-equity lines for both terms stay near $450K. A vertical marker at year 10 is labeled "30-yr plan pulls ahead."
Bar chart on 401(k) employer match for a $95,000 salary. Four figures: match captured $1,900 at a 4% contribution today; $950 left on the table, forfeited every year; full match needs a 6% contribution; full match totals $2,850 if you contribute 6%. Two horizontal bars compare annual dollars: 'Your 4% today' is $3,800 of your contribution plus employer match for $5,700 total; 'Full match at 6%' is $5,700 of your contribution plus employer match for $8,550 total. Note: with no true-up, maxing out early forfeits $2,083 of match, so spread contributions across all 26 paychecks.
Bar chart titled "Your debt-to-income against mortgage program limits." On $9,200/mo income with $1,050 in other debt and a $2,989 housing payment, back-end DTI is 43.9%, exceeding the conventional (36%), FHA (43%), and VA/USDA limits. Front-end DTI is 32.5%, above the 28% housing-only cap. FHA is the closest program, needing $137 a month less to qualify -- no single adjustment closes the gap for any program.
Chart titled "Recover your $5,500 by month 16." Subtitle: your payment drops $350.13 a month; below zero you're still recovering closing costs, above it every month is net savings. Four callout stats across the top: Monthly Savings $350.13 off your payment; Break-Even Month 16 closing costs recovered; Closing Costs $5,500 paid upfront; Interest Saved $59,845 over the first 5 years. Below, a line chart plots cumulative savings (y-axis, roughly -$10K to $20K) against months 0-60 (x-axis). The line starts negative, crosses zero at the month 16 break-even point marked with a dotted vertical line, then rises steadily. The area under the line is shaded red before break-even (paying back closing costs) and green after (net savings).
Bar chart titled "Auto-removal is 49 months and $8,825 away. Two faster exits exist." Four KPI cards at top: Current PMI $187/mo; If you wait, $8,825 through Jul 2030; Pay $16,000 now, $6,375 saved, skips 35 months; Return on $16,000, 13.7% effective annual return. Horizontal bars show months from today: Reappraise now (0 months, marked NOW), Request at 80% LTV (35 months, May 2029), Auto-drop at 78% LTV (49 months, Jul 2030). Footnote: re-appraisal removal is lender-discretionary, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac often require 2-5 years of seasoning, confirm with your servicer. Senaro.ai branding in corner.
Line chart titled "At $380k and 6.47%, renting and investing wins," comparing 30-year net worth for renting plus investing the difference versus buying a $380,000 home with 20% down at a 6.47% mortgage rate. Both start near $100,000 and track closely at first; by year 5 renting is already ahead by $41,884, and the lines never cross again (no breakeven within 30 years). The gap widens sharply after year 15. By year 30, rent-plus-invest reaches $2,625,027 versus buying's lower ending value, a $1,399,826 advantage for renting and investing, assuming a 10% average annual investment return (S&P 500 long-run).
Emergency fund safety spectrum for a self-employed person with 1 dependent and $5,800/mo in expenses. Four KPI cards show: Current Coverage 2 months, Recommended 7 months ($40,600 target), Gap to Target $29,000, Time to Target 33 months at $900/mo saved. A horizontal bar spans three zones — Unsafe (under 3 mo, red), Building (3–7 mo, tan), Safe (7 mo+, green) — with a marker at "You: 2 mo" sitting in the red zone. Warning at bottom: "Below the 3-month minimum. Add to your fund before other discretionary spending." Chart by senaro.ai.
