Passes VA's 36-month recoupment test. IRRRL is eligible.
Does NOT pass VA's 36-month recoupment. Either rate spread isn't wide enough or closing costs are too high. Options: reduce closing costs, wait for a lower rate, or consider a cash-out refi instead (different rules).
What this doesn't show: Total interest cost over the full loan. A 30-year refi that "recoups" in 24 months can still cost more interest over the next 27 years vs paying down faster. Run the full numbers, not just the recoupment.
