Buy Sell Mortgage Payment and Profit/Loss Calculator

The Buy Sell Mortgage Calculator allows homeowners, investors, and potential buyers to easily calculate monthly mortgage payments and estimate potential profit or loss from selling a property. By entering purchase details, loan terms, and selling information, users can assess financial viability and plan accordingly for property transactions.

Historical Background

The concept of mortgages has been around for centuries, allowing individuals and families to own homes they might not otherwise afford. In modern times, mortgage calculations involve more complex formulas based on interest rates, loan terms, and principal amounts. Similarly, the real estate market has grown to include detailed profit or loss analysis, which is crucial for sellers when considering market conditions, agent fees, and closing costs.

Calculation Formula

Mortgage Payment Formula (Fixed-rate mortgage): \[ M = P \times \frac{r(1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \] Where:

• \(M\) = Monthly mortgage payment
• \(P\) = Loan amount (Property Price - Down Payment)
• \(r\) = Monthly interest rate (Annual interest rate / 12 / 100)
• \(n\) = Number of payments (Loan term in years × 12)

Profit/Loss from Sale: \[ \text{Profit/Loss} = (\text{Selling Price} - \text{Agent Fees} - \text{Closing Costs}) - \text{Original Purchase Price} \] Where:

• Agent fees are calculated as a percentage of the selling price.
• Closing costs are the additional costs related to the sale process.

Example Calculation

1. Mortgage Example:

   • Property Purchase Price: $300,000
   • Down Payment: $60,000
   • Annual Interest Rate: 4.5%
   • Loan Term: 30 years

   The monthly mortgage payment will be calculated as: \[ M = 240,000 \times \frac{0.00375(1 + 0.00375)^{360}}{(1 + 0.00375)^{360} - 1} \approx 1216.04 \, \text{dollars} \]

2. Profit/Loss from Sale Example:

   • Selling Price: $350,000
   • Original Purchase Price: $300,000
   • Agent Fees: 6%
   • Closing Costs: $5,000
