Worked out from Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System - A Consumer's Guide to Mortgage Refinancings and 2 other sources.
An estimate from the figures you entered. A real offer depends on credit, appraised value, loan-level pricing adjustments and the lender's Loan Estimate, and refinancing resets the amortisation clock.

How this is worked out

6 steps
  1. Current payment = PMT on 250000 at 7.25% over 300 months = 1807.02
  2. New loan = 250000 payoff + 0 cash = 250000
  3. New payment = PMT on 250000 at 6% over 360 months = 1498.88
  4. Monthly saving = 1807.02 - 1498.88 = 308.14
  5. Break-even = 4500 of cash cost / 308.14 a month = 15 months
  6. Interest left on the current loan 292103.6 versus 289593.37 on the new one: a saving of 2510.23
