p
P&I and Total Payment
— Multi-function payment
key. Enters or solves for the Periodic Principal and
Interest (P&I) payment. In Canadian Mode, a sec-
ond press of the p key calculates the Total
Payment (includes monthly property tax, insurance,
heating expense, and other applicable housing
expenses, such as condo fees). If entered,
Canadian Mortgage insurance is included in both
P&I and Total Payment. In U.S. mode, a second
press of the p key calculates the PITI payment
(adds monthly property tax and insurance to P&I
payment). Pressing a third time in U.S. mode cal-
culates the total payment (PITI plus expenses).The
fourth press calculates the interest-only payment.
T Enters or solves for the number of years. Second press
gives the number of periods. An entered term greater
than 59 will be classified as periodic, not annual.
Note: Term is stored permanently, until you change it or perform
a Clear All (

, or reset.
s ˆ
Effective Interest Rate (Eff%)
— Converts value
stored as interest to equivalent U.S. rate.
s l
Future Value (FV)
— Enters or solves for the future
value of a financial problem.
P
Sales Price
— Enters or calculates Sales Price
based on the entries of Mortgage Amount (or equiv-
alent mortgage components) and Down Payment.
Note: An entered Sales Price will not normally change.
d
Down Payment
— Enters (in either percent or dol-
lars) or calculates Down Payment, based on the
entries of Mortgage Amount (or equivalent mortgage
components) and Sales Price. A second press
changes the entered down payment from a dollar
figure to a percent, or vice versa.
Note: Any number under 100 is assumed to be a percent down
payment. You do not have to label the value as a percent.

Odd-Days Interest (ODI)
— Calculates the pre-paid
interest, or simple interest accumulated (based on a
360-day year) during the days before the first mort-
gage payment is made, using the interest rate
stored in the Interest register. (U.S. Mode only.)
s T
Bi-Weekly (Bi-Wkly)
— Converts a regular monthly
loan to a Bi-Weekly loan, where the buyer may realize
significant interest savings. After loan variables are
entered, pressing s T displays the Bi-Weekly
Term (i.e., reduced term). The second press of T
shows the total interest savings; third press displays
the total interest paid; fourth press displays the total
principal; and fifth press displays the total principal
and interest paid. Pressing p will calculate the
Bi-Weekly payment. Pressing s T again will exit
Bi-Weekly mode and re-calculate to the original term.
Pressing o twice will also exit Bi-Weekly mode.
Qualifying Keys
What are Canadian Qualifying Ratios?
According to the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC),
the first rule in Canadian qualifying is that monthly housing costs
should not exceed 32% of gross monthly income (this is called the
Gross Debt Service, or GDS ratio). Housing costs include monthly
Principal and Interest, Property Taxes and heating expenses. If
applicable, PITH can also include half the condominium fees and the
annual site lease if it’s a leasehold tenure.
The second qualifying rule is that the total monthly costs (i.e.,
monthly housing costs
plus
other long-term debt, such as car loans
and credit card payments) shouldn’t exceed 40% of gross monthly
income (this is called the Total Debt Service, or TDS ratio).
q

1) Stores Canadian GDS:TDS ratios for mortgage
qualifying. Entered ratios are separated by the Colon
: key. For example, income and debt ratios of 32%
and 40%, respectively, are entered and permanently
stored as follows: 3 2 : 4 0 q. Default income
and debt ratios for this key are 32% and 40%,
respectively. You may change these ratios, if desired.
2) Calculates the maximum mortgage amount for
which a buyer may qualify, based on the stored
income and debt qualifying ratios and the entered:
• Term
• Interest
Annual Income
• Monthly Debt
• Down Payment
• Monthly Property Taxes
• Monthly heating expense and other monthly housing
expenses, if applicable (e.g., condo fees)
The output of this key is as follows:

1 Displays stored Qualifying Ratios
(e.g., 32%:40%)
2 Maximum Qualifying Mortgage Amount
(restricted)*
3 Buyer’s Actual Ratios (Income%:Debt%)
4 Unrestricted Qualifying Mortgage Amount*
5 Maximum Allowable Debt
*The Maximum Qualifying Loan Amount displayed is the “restricted”
loan amount that the buyer may qualify for. This loan amount is
based on whichever of the two ratios, income or debt, limits the buyer
the most. If the buyer’s maximum qualifying loan amount is restricted
by their income, then the unrestricted qualifying loan amount will also
be displayed. The unrestricted qualifying loan amount is based purely
on the buyer’s income and is not restricted by their debt. If the maxi-
mum qualifying loan amount is restricted by their debt, the unrestrict-
ed qualifying loan amount will not be displayed. This is useful to show
clients what size loan they could qualify for if they paid off debt or
increased income. Here, the calculator will display the loan amount
with “UNR” (for unrestricted) and “INC” (based on income).
Note
: This restricted/unrestricted qualifying mortgage comparison
is useful to show clients what size loan they could qualify for if
they paid off debt or increased income.

amount or sales price based on the stored income
and debt qualifying ratios and the entered:
• Term
• Interest
• Price (down payment) or mortgage amount
4) Also finds buyer's actual income and debt
ratios given both buyer and property data. By
default, the first press of q displays the stored
qualifying ratios and the 2nd press calculates the
buyer's actual ratios.
Note on U.S. Qualifying: If the calculator is in
Canadian Mode
(see page 11) and you want to
qualify in
U.S. Mode
, activate U.S. Mode via s +
and enter new U.S. Qualifying Ratios into the q
and Q keys.
Q
(Qualify Based on 35%-42%)
— Stores additional
Income and Debt ratios and operates identically to
the q key. Default Income and Debt ratios for this
key are 35% and 42%, respectively.
Note: You may store whatever ratios you desire in the
q
or
Q
keys.
i
Income
— Enters the buyer’s
annual
income for
mortgage qualifying. Or, enters a monthly income
when preceded by the s b keys (e.g., 5 )
s b i enters a monthly income of $5,000).
D Enters buyer’s long-term,
monthly
debt (e.g., car
payments, credit cards with large balances/long-
term monthly payments).
s D
Expense (Exp)
— Enters monthly heating or other
housing expenses (e.g., condominium fees) for cal-
culating the Total (PITH) Payment or for Qualifying.
C
Canadian Mortgage Insurance
— Used to enter
mortgage insurance. Can be entered as a percent-
age or a dollar amount. Numbers over ten will auto-
matically be considered a dollar amount.

t
Property Tax
— Used for calculating PITI and Total
(PITH) payment, and Qualifying. Stores estimated
annual property tax in either percent or dollar
amount. If entered as an annual dollar amount, a
press of t converts to the monthly tax amount,
and pressing t again converts to the annual
percent rate. If entered as a percent, pressing t
converts to the annual dollar amount, and pressing
t once more shows the monthly tax.
Note: Entering a number equal to or less than ten is assumed to
be an annual percent. Property tax is calculated from the sales
price (therefore, you should also enter a Down Payment).
s t
Property Insurance (Ins)
— Used for calculating
the PITI payment and for Qualifying. Stores estimated
annual property or homeowner’s insurance in either
percent or dollar amount. If entered as an annual
dollar amount, a press of ® and s t converts
to the monthly insurance amount or premium, and
pressing t again converts to the annual percent-
age rate. If entered as a percentage, pressing t
converts to the annual dollar amount, and pressing
t once more shows the monthly insurance.
Cash Flow Keys
The following keys provide quick and easy analysis of cash flow
investment scenarios without all the confusing keys or keystrokes of
typical financial calculators:
c This key allows the entry of up to 20 cash flows
(either positive or negative; use the s – keys to
label a cash flow as a negative value, or cash outlay).
s c
Frequency
—The second function of this key labels a
cash flow that is repeated consecutively, or grouped
(e.g., if a cash flow is repeated three times in a row, first
enter the cash flow value into the c key, then enter
the frequency, or number of occurrences: 3 s c).
Note: to use the Frequency function, a cash flow must repeat
itself consecutively. If it occurs more than once out of order, or
is not consecutive, you must enter it separately, just like other
cash flows (do not use the Frequency function).
R Internal Rate of Return — This multi-function key

(Cont’d)
Press Display or Calculation
1 IRR%*
2 Net Present Value (NPV)**
3 Net Future Value (NFV)
4 Desired Interest Rate (entered prior to
calculating)***
*IRR: The rate of return at which the discounted future cash flows
equal the initial cash outlay (C-0). An IRR greater than the desired
rate of return is financially attractive (the higher, the better).
**NPV
: Another tool to analyze cash flow scenarios. A positive NPV
indicates that an investment is attractive (again, the higher, the better).
NPV is computed by adding the initial investment (C-0), a negative
cash outlay, to the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
***Interest
: When in Canadian Mode, if an interest rate has been
stored in the Interest function, the calculated Effective Interest
percent will be used for calculating IRR if no desired rate of
return is entered. If a desired rate of return is entered directly
(e.g.,
1 0 R
) the entered rate is used (it is not converted to the
Effective Interest Rate Percentage).
Note
: If there is no initial investment/cash outlay, enter “0” into the
first cash flow register (C-0).
s R
NPV/NFV
— If you wish to skip the IRR% calculation
display (see above), press s R to calculate NPV.

(for fixed-rate loans only) based on the entry of points
and/or non-recurring loan fees paid at initiation. It also
calculates total finance charges, monthly mortgage
insurance, and PIMI payment, based on the entry of
mortgage insurance via the s 9 keys.

MEMORY
Accumulative Memory
Whenever the µ key is pressed, the displayed value will be added
to cumulative Memory. This value will remain in Memory until cleared
or when the calculator is turned off.
Other Memory functions:
FUNCTION KEYSTROKES
Recall total in Memory ® µ
Display and clear Memory ® ®
Subtract displayed value from Memory s µ
Replace Memory with displayed value s ® µ
The Memory is semi-permanent; that is, it will only be cleared when
you:
1) turn off the calculator;
2) press ® ®; or
3) press s x
(Clear All)
.
Examples:
STEPS KEYSTROKES DISPLAY
Store number into Memory 3 5 5 µ 355.00

Memory Storage Keys (M0-M5)
In addition to the standard cumulative Memory (as described on
previous page), your calculator has six independent Storage
Registers — [M0] through [M5] — that can be used to permanently
store single, non-cumulative values. These values will be held when
your calculator is turned off, and will only clear when a “Clear All” is
performed (via s x).
You can replace a value in one of these Memory Registers by stor-
ing a new value in place of the stored value.
FUNCTION KEYSTROKES
Store single value in M0 s ® 0
Store single value in M1 s ® 1
Store single value in M2-M5 s ® 2, 3, 4, or 5
Clear register (e.g., M1) 0 s ® 1
Review stored value (e.g., M1) ® 1
Clear stored values* s x
*Perform a
s x
(Clear All) with caution, as it will clear any stored values from your
calculator’s registers.
Example:
Store 175 into M1, recall the value, and store a new value in place
of the first stored value. Then clear M1.
