EXPLANATION OF CALCULATOR
‘There are only 3 pieces of information the calculator asks from the user:
1. Users date of birth and, if applicable, users spouses date of birth
2. Users home value
3. What is owed on the home
On the back-end/admin the calculator will have the following data, all of which can be changed/updated
by admin:
1. list of closing costs (a spreadsheet will need to be used for one of the closing costs as it
corresponds to the home value)
2. Principal limit factor table (from excel spreadsheet table)
‘a. This table contains ages that will correspond with the date of birth input by the user
b. The age will correspond with a percentage factor that will be based on the home value
input by the user
c. The percentage factor will change according to the interest rate being used
‘Afield containing the desired profit per transaction
4, Atable containing interest rates, percentage factors and profit percentages based on loan
amounts (excel spreadsheet table)
5, Additional profit field based on specific scenarios
The calculator will take how old the youngest person will be within 6 months from the current day and
using that number it will find the corresponding age on the table. From there, it will identify the lowest
available interest rate from the adjustable rate table and from the fixed rate table. For the purpose of
generating a 3" result, the calculator will calculate an initial balance based on a total of 60% of the total
calculated amount or the amount that will result in $0 closing costs, whichever is less.
Using the age and the interest rate, it will pull the percentage factor trom the table. The percentage
factor will be used to calculate the gross loan amount from the home value amount input by the user. If
the home value input by the user exceeds $726,525 then the calculations will default toa home value of
$726,525. This will generate a gross loan amount. From the gross loan amount will be subtracted total
closing costs and what is owed on the home.
The profit percentage is calculated based the interest rate, the starting balance and the percentage of
the gross loan amount thal he starting balance represent.
Desired profit ~ If the calculations produce a profit that is less than the desired profit specified, the
origination fee should reflect the difference between the total calculated profit and the desired profit
amount.‘The origination fee amount cannot exceed the amount produced by the following formula: 2% up to
$200,000 in home value, then 1% of the value above $200,000, not to exceed a total of $6,000.
The calculation results should show 3 options:
1. The lowest rate option
‘a, Result should be based on the lowest available interest rate, pulled from the products
list
2. The lowest cost option
44. Resull shuuld be based on Calculating te
producing the highest profit percentage, taking the profit percentage amount,
subtracting the desired profit amount and applying the remaining as a credit toward the
closing cost total.
3. Fixed rate option
a, Result should be based on the lowest available fixed rate form the products list.

Age = Today's date minus date of birth (if today’s date minus date of birth is < x.5 then answer isx or if
today's date minus date of birth is >x.5 then answeris x + 1)
Home Value = if home value > $726,525 then home value is $726,525 or if home value is < $726,525,
then home value is home value.
Interest rate = refer to current lender rate sheet table. (If using fixed rate then fixed rate is used to
calculate loan amount. If using adjustable rate then expected rate is used to calculate loan amount.
While expected rate is used for calculations for the adjustable rate options the initial interest rate is
what will be displayed under ‘interest rate’ for all adjustable rate options on the results and review
pages of the calculator.)
Closing Costs (fixed rate) = mortgage insurance is 2% of home value + title insurance (refer to title fee
table sheet. Take home value and round UP to the nearest thousand) + recording fees + wiring fees +
courier fees + settlement fee + reconveyance fee + credit report + flood certification + origination fee (if
Using fixed rate then refer to current lender rate sheet table). Borrower credit = rate sheet percentage
of calculated principal limit. f customer incentives > total closing costs then customer incentives = total
losing costs or if customer incentives < closing costs then customer incentives = customer incentives.)
Closing Costs (adjustable rate) = mortgage insurance is 2% of home value + title insurance (refer to title
fee table sheet. Take home value and round UP to the nearest thousand) + recording fees + wiring fees +
courier fees + settlement ee + reconveyance fee + credit report + tlood certification + Voc Prep Fee (see
closing cost table for amounts) + origination fee (.5% of home value) — customer incentives (to calculate
customer incentives begin by first: multiplying the loan amount by the corresponding adjustable rate
premium percentage found on the lender rate sheet table. Second: add the calculated origination fee
and the rate premium dollar amount to arrive at a total dollar amount. Third: ifthe total dollar amount
is less than or equal to the desired profit amount then customer incentives equal $0. However if the
total dollar amount is greater than the desired profit amount then any amount above the desired profit
amount is the total customer incentives not to exceed the total closing cost amount. ifthe total
customer incentive amount exceeds the total closing cost amount then the customer incentive amount
must default to the total closing cost amount.)
Interest Rate Factor Percentage = Take the expected or fixed interest rate percentage from the lender
rate sheet which in this explanation will be represented by the letter ‘X’. The interest rate on the HECM
Formula table which is just below X will be represented by the letter ‘A’. The interest rate on the HECM
Formula that is just above X will be represented by the letter ‘B’. Therefore in order to determine what
interest rate is used from the HECM Formula table to calculate loan amounts, the formula would be as
follows:IX AthenX=A
therefore to arrive at the appropriate interest rate factor percentage X must always = A
Using the information above, the formula for calculating the loan figures are as follows:
Home Value x Interest Rate Factor Percentage = Loan Amount
