Current rate per month
i = annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 12
7.5 ÷ 100 ÷ 12 = 0.00625
Current payment over the 300 months left
PMT = P × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i) to the power of −n)
250,000.00 × 0.00625 ÷ (1 − (1 + 0.00625) to the power of −300) = 1,847.48
New rate per month
i = annual rate ÷ 100 ÷ 12
6 ÷ 100 ÷ 12 = 0.005
New loan months
n = years × 12
30 × 12 = 360
New payment
PMT = P × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i) to the power of −n)
250,000.00 × 0.005 ÷ (1 − (1 + 0.005) to the power of −360) = 1,498.88
Monthly savings
current − new payment
1,847.4779 − 1,498.8763 = 348.60

How it works
Payment = B × i ÷ (1 − (1 + i)^−n) for each loan; break-even months = closing costs ÷ monthly savings
