Caveat: The after tax analysis is accurate only to the extent that all of your interest deductions are allowable on your tax return. If all interest deductions are not allowable, the actual after tax results for you will fall somewhere between the before tax analysis and the after tax analysis. Deductibility of mortgage interest depend on the size of the loan, your Adjusted Gross Income, and other factors. See your tax professional for detailed advice.

Note: Points may be deductible for tax purposes even though they are financed. The amount of deductible points cannot exceed the amount of cash supplied by the borrower.

Note: Mortgage insurance premiums remain the same for 10 years, at which point they are recalculated using a premium rate of .2, unless the initial rate is less than .2 in which case the premium stays unchanged. If the user enters an appreciation rate, the premium is eliminated entirely when the loan balance reaches 80% of the appreciated value; otherwise, the premium terminates when the balance reaches 78% of the original property value.
