Summary (plain English): MortgageBreakUSA provides free calculator tools for educational purposes only. We are not a lender, broker, or financial advisor. All results are estimates — not quotes, not commitments, and not financial advice. Always consult a licensed mortgage professional before making any home buying or refinancing decision.

1. Not a Lender, Broker, or Loan Originator

MortgageBreakUSA is operated by Berean Defense, LLC. We are not a mortgage lender, mortgage broker, mortgage banker, real estate agent, or licensed mortgage loan originator. We do not originate, process, underwrite, fund, service, or otherwise facilitate mortgage loans. Nothing on this website constitutes an offer to lend or a commitment to make a loan.

Use of our calculators does not initiate a mortgage application, create a lender-borrower relationship, or generate a binding rate quote. For an actual mortgage, please contact a licensed lender or mortgage broker in your state.

2. Estimates Only — Not Financial Advice

All results produced by the calculators on this website are mathematical estimates based on the values you enter and standard industry formulas. These estimates are provided for informational and educational purposes only. They do not constitute financial advice, investment advice, legal advice, or tax advice.

Actual mortgage payments, qualification limits, closing costs, PMI amounts, and all other figures will vary based on your credit score, lender requirements, property characteristics, local market conditions, and other factors not captured by our calculators.

3. Conventional Loans Only

Our calculators are designed for conventional fixed-rate mortgage loans. Estimates for FHA loans, VA loans, USDA loans, adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs), jumbo loans, reverse mortgages, and other specialty products will differ materially from what our calculators show. If you are considering a non-conventional loan, please consult a licensed mortgage professional who specializes in that loan type.

4. PMI Rate Assumption

Our PMI calculator uses a default Private Mortgage Insurance rate of 0.8% annually unless you enter a different value. Actual PMI rates vary from approximately 0.2% to 2.0% of the loan amount annually depending on your credit score, loan-to-value ratio, lender, and loan type. The estimate shown is illustrative only.

5. Closing Costs Data

Closing cost estimates on this website are based on industry averages as of 2026. Actual closing costs vary significantly by lender, loan type, property value, local market conditions, and applicable state and county laws. Transfer taxes, recording fees, and title insurance rates change frequently. Always request a Loan Estimate (LE) from your lender — they are required by federal law (RESPA/TRID) to provide one within three business days of your application, and it is the authoritative source for your actual closing costs.

6. Affiliate Disclosure

MortgageBreakUSA may display links to third-party services including mortgage lenders, rate comparison platforms, and financial products. Some of these links may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a referral fee or commission if you click through and take an action (such as completing a loan inquiry). This compensation does not influence our calculator results, data, or editorial content. We do not endorse any specific lender, product, or service. Always perform your own due diligence before selecting a lender or financial product.

7. No Guarantee of Accuracy

While we make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of our calculators and reference data, Berean Defense, LLC makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, regarding the completeness, accuracy, reliability, or suitability of the information provided. Mortgage rates, tax rates, insurance rates, and closing cost data change frequently. We do not guarantee that information is current at the time of your visit.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Berean Defense, LLC and its operators shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of, or reliance on, the information or tools provided on this website. This includes any financial decisions made on the basis of calculator results shown here.

9. Professional Consultation Required

Before making any home buying, refinancing, or mortgage-related financial decision, you should consult with one or more of the following qualified professionals licensed in your state: a mortgage loan originator, mortgage broker, financial advisor, real estate attorney, or certified public accountant. No calculator result replaces professional advice tailored to your individual financial situation.

10. Third-Party Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites. These links are provided for convenience only. Berean Defense, LLC has no control over the content of those sites and accepts no responsibility for them or for any loss or damage that may arise from your use of them.

11. Changes to This Disclaimer

We reserve the right to update this disclaimer at any time. Changes will be reflected by an updated "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the website after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised disclaimer.
