Meaning, then the identity

mortgage points means the result of the identity on the mortgage points calculator. BB is the loan, pp points as a decimal (1 percent is 0.01), M0M_0 the payment at the higher rate and M1M_1 at the lower. Break-even nBEn_{BE} is months of payment saving against the cash cost, a cash-flow test, not a present-value test.

Not a recommendation
