Formula and Assumptions

The Real Estate Calculator Does Not Include Taxes uses standard financial formulas to calculate the results. The key formulas include:

Loan Amount = Property Price - Down Payment

Monthly Payment = (Loan Amount × (Interest Rate/12)) × [(1 + Interest Rate/12)^(Loan Term × 12)] / [(1 + Interest Rate/12)^(Loan Term × 12) - 1]

Total Interest = (Monthly Payment × Loan Term × 12) - Loan Amount

Investment Return = (Annual Rental Income - Annual Expenses) / Property Price

Assumptions

The calculator makes the following assumptions:

Fixed interest rate throughout the loan term
No prepayment or early repayment of the loan
