Calculation method

Calculation method

Price-reduction option lowers price and loan; credit option keeps price and loan but reduces entered closing cash.

Entered fixed decimals remain exact through rational arithmetic. Planar distance outputs that require square roots use bounded numerical evaluation. Values round only for display, and unsupported or undefined states return an explicit message.

Worked example

Worked example

Compare a 10,000 price reduction with a 10,000 seller credit on a 400,000 property with 20% down.

Price-reduction option lowers price and loan; credit option keeps price and loan but reduces entered closing cash.

Supported inputs

Precision and limits

International scope

No currency, market price, interest rate, tax, tenancy rule, planning code, lender policy, or measurement definition is supplied automatically.

Scenario, not a decision

Results are arithmetic scenarios from visitor-entered values—not an appraisal, loan approval, legal interpretation, planning determination, forecast, or professional recommendation.

Precision and privacy

Inputs accept bounded plain decimals and remain in this browser. The engine prevents invalid denominators and misleading non-finite results.

Calculator-specific boundary

Credits, contribution limits, taxation, approval, and negotiated price effects depend on the transaction and lender.
