Frequently asked questions
- How is maximum loan calculated?
- This uses the present value of an annuity formula: PV = PMT × [1 - (1+r)^-n] / r. It tells you the loan amount whose payments exactly match your target monthly payment.
- Should I borrow the maximum I qualify for?
- Not necessarily. Borrowing the maximum leaves no buffer for unexpected expenses. Consider borrowing 80-90% of the maximum to maintain financial breathing room.
