ment and re-amortizes a fully or partially amortized
Adjustable Rate Mortgage based on the inputs of
both an Interest Adjustment and a Term Adjustment,

Term Adjustment). For example, an
ARM which increases 1% every six months is entered
1 : • 5 A

six months is entered
1 : • 5 s A
. (ARM
rates are stored permanently.)
s %
Lifetime Interest Cap (ARMs)

loan to a Bi-Weekly loan, where the buyer may real-
ize significant interest savings. After loan variables
are entered, pressing
s T

total interest savings; third press displays the total
interest
paid

and fifth press displays the total principal and inter-
est paid. Pressing

Tax Savings Keys
s p
Estimated Tax Savings (Tax Svgs)
— Calculates
an estimated annual income tax savings for a mort-
gage, based on entered loan variables, including
property tax, mortgage interest, and tax bracket. You
must enter a tax bracket, then press
s p p
to
display the estimated annual income tax savings;
the third consecutive press of
p
will display the
monthly tax savings; and the fourth press will display
the estimated “after-tax”, or net mortgage payment.
Note: This function is different from the mortgage interest deduc-
tion figured in the Amortization calculation, as it also includes
property tax for a total estimated tax savings and only provides
an annual estimate, not an estimate for a specified range. (See
the
a
key definition for details).
