demonstrate various “what-if” mortgage scenarios to your clients.

Loan Amount

— Enters or solves for the initial mort-

gage amount or present value of a financial problem.

SER

’

UIDE

— 3

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 (

s x

). You may enter a periodic term, if you prefer,

by pressing the

s b

(Periodic) keys prior to pressing

(e.g.,

3 6 s b T

instead of

3 T

Interest

— Enters or solves for the annual interest

rate. Second press gives the periodic rate.

Note: Interest is stored permanently, until you change it, by

performing a “Clear All”

(s x)

, 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.

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.

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.

4 — Q

UALIFIER

LUS

s d

Loan-to-Value (LTV)

— Calculates the Loan-to-

Value percent when a Down Payment and Sales

Price, Mortgage Amount/Down Payment, or

Mortgage Amount/Sales Price are entered. Also cal-

culates the above dollar values if an LTV percent

and one of the above values are entered (e.g.,

entered Sales Price and LTV percent will calculate

Down Payment and Mortgage Amount).

s b

Periodic

— Used to specify a mortgage component

(Term or Interest) or Amortization/Remaining

Balance entry as periodic rather than yearly. For

example, 3 0 s b T enters 30 periods.

Also used to identify Periodic Income, Tax

Insurance, and Mortgage Insurance.

s ÷

Payments per Year (Pmt/Yr)

— Used to set the

number of payment periods per year. Default value

is 12, for monthly.

Month Offset

— Used to set the first month of pay-

ment if other than January (e.g., Month 3).

s :

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).

(Qualify Based on GDS:TDS ratios of 32%-40%)

— A multi-function key which, based on entered

variables, performs the following pre-qualifying

functions:

(Cont’d)

6 — Q

UALIFIER

LUS

(Cont’d)

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:

Press Calculation

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.

3) Calculates the annual income required and

allowable monthly debt for a desired mortgage

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.

(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

keys.

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.

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.

8 — Q

UALIFIER

LUS

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

calculates, upon consecutive presses:

(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).

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:

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.
