Age 15Explain it to a 15-year-oldConnect it to the formula
Fees, variable rates, payment timing and non-recourse rules differ by product and must be checked in the loan documents. The rule is Future balance = opening balance growth + future value of monthly advances. Its input values are Opening loan balance, Monthly advance, Annual interest and fee rate (%), Projection years, and the main result is Projected reverse mortgage balance. Try changing one number and watch what happens to Projected reverse mortgage balance.
CollegeExplain it at college levelState the model precisely
This calculator evaluates a personal-finance model from stated cash amounts, rates and time assumptions. The implemented relation is Future balance = opening balance growth + future value of monthly advances, evaluated from Opening loan balance, Monthly advance, Annual interest and fee rate (%), Projection years to produce Projected reverse mortgage balance. Fees, variable rates, payment timing and non-recourse rules differ by product and must be checked in the loan documents. The result cannot predict markets or include unentered taxes, fees, legal rules, benefits, insurance terms or personal circumstances. Verify material decisions against current documents.
