Sales Price/Down Payment
One of the unique features of this calculator is its ability to work with
not only Loan Amount, but with Sales Price and Down Payment. You
can enter two values to find the third (e.g., enter Price and Down
Payment to find Loan Amount). You can also enter the down pay-
ment in both percent or dollar format. For example, to enter a per-
cent, say 20%, enter 20 directly into the
d
key. Or enter $20,000
(e.g.,
2 0 ) d
).
Note: When using
P
,
d
and
l
keys, it’s recommended that you always enter
the two known values (Price and Down Payment), then solve for the third (Loan
Amount), before calculating financial values.
