You can calculate the mortgage loan amount from the price of the real estate by providing the down payment
percentage. If you know the mortgage amount you can afford and the cash down payment percentage required, you can calculate
the affordable real estate price. Or if you know the price of the real estate and the loan amout and enter "0" for the down payment
percentage, the calculator will calculate the down payment amount and percentage. Points, Annual Property Taxes, Annual Insurance and Private Mortgage Ins. (PMI) are all optional. If you enter
values, the periodic portion of each will be calculated and shown on the schedule. Property taxes and insurance
are combined under escrow. If a borrower does not have cash to cover at least 20% of the purchase price, some lenders will require the
borrower to purchase private mortgage insurance (PMI) to cover against a possible default. Premiums are
typically 0.5% to 2.0% of the original loan amount. The borrower can drop the insurance coverage once the
mortgage balance is less than 80% of the original purchase price. The calculator handles this automatically.
(There may be other conditions as well under which the lender will no longer require PMI. One such case might be
apprciation of the real estate.) Points are charges that are normally due at closing. Borrowers (normally only in USA) may select to pay a
lender "points" up front in exchange for a lower interest rate. Points are expressed in percent and
are calculated on the amount borrowed. 3 points on a $200,000 mortgage equals $6,000. If the user enters points,
this calculator includes their value in the summary and as part of the total payment at loan origination on the
payment schedule. The term (duration) of the loan is expressed as a number of months. Need more options including the ability to solve for other unknowns, change payment / compounding frequency and

Using the calculator is straight forward. User enters a "loan amount", "number of months",
"annual interest rate". The calculator calculates the number of monthly payments. The "Payment Method" determines when the first payment is due. With the default selection,

"Start-of-Period" is selected, then the first payment will be due on the loan date. The term (duration) of the loan is expressed as a number of months. Need more options including the ability to solve for other unknowns, change payment / compounding

This calculator easily answers the question "Given the value of my current investments how much do I need
to
save each month to reach my retirement goal?" The user enters their "Current Age", there expected "Retirement Age", the "Annual
Interest Rate (ROI)" (annualized Return on Investment one expects to earn) and "Amount Desired At
Retirement". The calculator quickly calculates the required monthly investment amount and creates an investment
schedule plus a set of charts that will help the user see the relationship between the amount invested and the
return on the investment. The schedule can be copied and pasted to Excel, if desired. If you need a more advanced "Retirement Calculator" — one that calculates many more unknowns
and
one that calculates assuming retirement income and not a final lump sum then try the calculator located
