Input Fields Explained

The calculator requires these inputs:

Home value - The estimated value of your home
Down payment - The amount you'll pay upfront
Loan term - The length of your mortgage in years
Interest rate - The current mortgage interest rate
Investment amount - The portion of the loan for investment

Interpreting Results

The calculator provides these outputs:

Maximum loan amount - The total you can borrow
Monthly payment - Your estimated monthly payment
Total interest - The total interest paid over the loan term
Investment return - Estimated return on your investment portion

Formula Explained

The calculator uses these mortgage formulas:

Monthly Payment = P * (r(1+r)^n) / ((1+r)^n - 1) Where: P = Principal loan amount r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12) n = Number of payments (loan term in years * 12)

The investment portion uses a simplified return calculation based on historical averages.

Note: This calculator provides estimates. Actual loan terms may vary based on your specific situation and USAA's approval process.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a USAA investment mortgage for a $300,000 home with these terms:

Down payment: $60,000
Loan term: 30 years
Interest rate: 4.5%
Investment amount: $100,000

The calculation would show:

Maximum loan amount: $240,000
Monthly payment: $1,125
Total interest: $144,000
Investment return: 6.2% annually

This example shows how the investment portion can provide additional financial benefits while maintaining a manageable mortgage payment.
