Calculation Summary

MAO Calculator Logic

  • Desired profit can be set as a percentage of ARV or as a dollar amount.
  • Annual taxes and insurance show monthly equivalents below each field.
  • Interest type distinguishes Dutch vs Non-Dutch interest directly in the dropdown.
  • Est. Cash to Close is calculated as Down Payment + Origination Fee + Non-Lender Costs, all based on the MAO result.
  • Interest cost is based on loan amount, interest rate, and holding period. Dutch interest charges on the full loan amount from day one, while Non-Dutch interest charges only on funds actually disbursed over time.
