Purchase price of home: The total cost of the home you would like to purchase. Please keep in mind that the cost of buying a house is more than just the price of the house; there are fees associated with your mortgage which you will be provided once you are ready to buy. For budgeting purposes, you should assume total fees equal approximately 1% of your loan.
Estimated Down payment: Typically down payments range from 5-20% of the purchase price.
Amount currently saved: Total you currently have saved for your new home.
Years to save: The number of years you wish to save.
Estimated Interest Rate on your savings account: This is the interest rate you are currently earning on your savings account. For the purposes of this calculator, taxation is not factored into the results.
