Advanced Down Payment Calculator

Calculate down payment, loan affordability, investment returns, and savings timeline. Supports FHA, VA, Conventional loans, rental analysis, and scenario comparisons.

How It Works

  • - Calculates loan based on price, down payment, and loan type
  • - Monthly payment includes principal, interest, taxes, insurance, HOA
  • - Affordability is evaluated using Debt-to-Income (DTI)
  • - Investment metrics are calculated if rental income is provided

Loan Logic

  • - Loan Amount = Home Price − Down Payment + FHA MIP (if applicable)
  • - Monthly Payment uses standard amortization formula
  • - FHA loans include upfront & annual MIP
  • - VA loans require 0% down payment

Core Formulas

  • - Down Payment = Price × %
  • - Monthly Interest = Rate / 12
  • - EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1)
  • - Total Cost = Monthly Payment × Months

Affordability Logic

  • - Max Payment = Income × DTI − Existing Debts
  • - Max Loan derived from EMI formula
  • - Affordability Score = Monthly Payment / Income
  • - Helps determine safe home price range

Investment Analysis

  • - NOI = Rental Income − Expenses
  • - Cash Flow = NOI − Loan Payments
  • - Cap Rate = NOI / Property Price
  • - CoC Return = Cash Flow / Initial Investment

Return Metrics

  • - Future Value = Price × (1 + appreciation)^years
  • - ROI includes appreciation + cash flow
  • - DSCR = NOI / Debt Service
  • - Helps evaluate investment risk

  • - Uses compound interest formula
