About the Down Payment Calculator

The down payment is the cash portion of the purchase: price × down-payment %. The loan covers the rest, giving LTV = loan ÷ price. Closing costs (typically 2–5%) are paid separately at closing, so the true cash requirement is down payment plus closing costs.

Planning the Savings

Divide the total cash needed by your savings timeline to get a monthly target. On a $400,000 home at 20% down with 3% closing costs, that is $80,000 + $12,000 = $92,000 — $3,833 per month over two years, a budget most buyers need to plan around carefully.
