Compare before consolidating: If your blended rate is lower than a consolidation loan’s rate, think twice.
Focus on high-rate, high-balance loans first: They influence the blended rate most heavily.
Check annually: Your loan landscape changes over time — reevaluate regularly.
Don’t mix apples and oranges: Avoid calculating blended rates across loans with vastly different terms (e.g., short-term credit vs. 30-year mortgage).
