ARM Versus Fixed Rate Comparison
ARM Versus Fixed Rate Comparison: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers loan amount (currency). Stub page while the tool and its worked example are prepared.
ARM Versus Fixed Rate Comparison is a planned calculator in the real estate section of Super Calculator, covering amortization and payoff.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: loan amount (currency), fixed rate (%), ARM initial rate (%), fixed period (years), caps (%), margin (%), holding period (years) and discount rate (%).
Outputs: cumulative cost per scenario (currency), break-even index level (%) and break-even holding period (years).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: Compares cumulative cost of a fixed loan against an ARM under three index paths (flat, worst case at every cap, and a user path) over the expected holding period, discounted to present value. The break-even is the index level at which the two cumulative costs cross.
