Assumptions and example inputs

Example inputs are editable placeholders to show how the calculator works. Results are estimates, not quotes or approvals, and they do not use live rates or lender pricing.

This compares fixed-rate principal and interest, entered mortgage insurance, closing costs, and the remaining debt at the same future date.
Cash out is borrowed money, not savings. Mortgage insurance is held constant until each loan ends; compare any real cancellation date separately. Taxes, insurance, opportunity cost, tax effects, and future rate changes are excluded.
