Mortgage Calculations

To calculate any of the Mortgage variables (Amt, Int, Term or Pmt) you need to enter and store the other 3 variables, and then compute the value by clicking on the 4th variable followed by the = key.

Example: To Calculate Monthly Mortgage Payment for a 550,000 loan, at 6.25% for 30 years

Enter 550,000 and store it by clicking the Amt key, enter 6.25 and store it by clicking the Int key, and finally, enter 30 and store it by clicking the Term key. Click on Pmt, and then the = key to calculate the Monthly Payment (Interest + Principal). Clicking on the  key will display the complete Amortization Table for the loan.

Once the values are stored, you can change any of the 4 variables and re-calculate any of the other values.

If you enter a Down Payment using the DnPmt key, this amount will be deducted from the Total Amount entered using the Amt key, to determine the Loan Amount before calculating the mortgage payments.

You can also enter the Taxes and Insurance amounts for the year, and they will be figured in to calculate the Total PITI Payment.

Once the Mortgage Payment (P+I) is calculated by clicking the Pmt key and then the = key, clicking on the Pmt key subsequently will display the Interest Only payment. Clicking it again will display the monthly PITI (Principal+Interest+Taxes+Insurance) payment.

Percentage Calculations

To calculate a percentage use it with the x key.

Example: To calculate 3% of 5000

Enter 5000, click x key, enter 3, click % key, and finally click =.

Example: To calculate the total cost of a $600 item with a 8.25% sales tax

Enter 600, click + key, enter 8.25, click % key, and finally click =.

Example: To calculate the discounted value of a $900 item with a 10% discount

Enter 900, click - key, enter 10, click % key, and finally click =.
