How to Use This Calculator
This calculator estimates your potential rewards from the USAA Real Estate Rewards program. To use it:
- Enter the purchase price of your home
- Select whether you're a first-time homebuyer
- Choose whether you're refinancing an existing USAA home loan
- Click "Calculate" to see your estimated rewards
The calculator will show you:
- Estimated discount amount
- Estimated closing cost assistance (if applicable)
- Total estimated rewards
Formula used:
Discount = Purchase Price × Discount Rate
Closing Cost Assistance = $3,000 (if first-time homebuyer)
Total Rewards = Discount + Closing Cost Assistance
Example Calculation
Let's say you're a first-time homebuyer purchasing a $300,000 home. Here's how the calculation would work:
- Purchase price: $300,000
- Discount rate: 1% (for first-time homebuyers)
- Closing cost assistance: $3,000
Calculation:
Discount = $300,000 × 1% = $3,000
Total Rewards = $3,000 (discount) + $3,000 (closing cost assistance) = $6,000
Your estimated rewards would be $6,000.
