Points (loan discount points)

Prepaid interest on a mortgage that is usually paid at the time of closing. Each point is equal to 1% of the total amount of a mortgage (1 point, or 1%, of an $80,000 mortgage would be $800). Most lenders offer mortgages with several combinations of points and interest rates; generally, the lower the interest rate, the more points paid at settlement.
