s – Change Sign (+/–) — Changes the sign of the dis-
played value from positive to negative or vice versa.
s x Clear All — Clears all entered values and returns
any stored values to their default settings. Use this
only with caution, as it will reset ratios, Periods per
Year, etc. back to their defaults (see the Appendix
for a list of these settings).
Note: Clear All will not affect any changes made to Preference
Settings (with the exception of Payments/Year and Decimal
Places, which are returned to their defaults), unless you perform
a Reset (see Appendix).
s = Preferences (Prefs) — Activates the Preference
Mode, where you can select custom settings (see
Preference Settings).
Mortgage Loan (TVM) Keys
The following keys let you solve Time-Value-of-Money (TVM) problems,
such as finding a Loan Payment, Term, Interest or Future Value,
Amortization or Bi-Weekly loans. Other useful keys, such as Price and
Down Payment, are also included. These mortgage loan keys let you
easily demonstrate various “what if” loan scenarios to your clients.
l Loan Amount — Enters or solves for the initial loan
amount or present value of a financial problem.
p P&I, PITI Payment, Total Payment, Interest-Only
Payment — Enters or solves for the periodic princi-
pal and interest (P&I) payment. Pressing pa sec-
ond time in succession calculates the PITI payment
(P&I plus property tax, property insurance and mort-
gage insurance, if entered). The third press of p
computes the total payment (PITI plus any entered
expenses, such as homeowner’s association dues
and other housing expenses). The fourth press cal-
culates the interest-only payment.
s p Interest-Only Payment (Int-Only Pmt) — Enters or
solves for the interest-only payment.
TEnters or solves for the number of years. Second
press displays the number of periods. You may
enter a periodic term, if you prefer, by pressing the
s b (periodic) keys (e.g., 3 6 0 s b
Tinstead of 3 0 T). An entered term greater
than 45 will be classified as periodic, not annual.
Note: Stored permanently, until you change it or perform a Clear
All ( s x ).

U SER ’ S G UIDE — 3
ˆ Interest — Enters or solves for the annual interest
rate. Second press gives the periodic rate.
Note: Stored permanently, until you change it or perform a Clear
All ( s x ).
s l Future Value (FV) — Enters or solves for the future
value of a financial problem.
P Sales Price — Enters or calculates Sales Price
based on the entries of Loan Amount (or equivalent
mortgage components) and Down Payment.
d Down Payment — Enters (in either percent or dol-
lars) or calculates Down Payment, based on the
entries of Loan Amount (or equivalent mortgage
components) and Sales Price. A second press
changes the entered down payment from a dollar
figure to a percent, or vice versa.
Note: Any number under 100 is assumed to be a percent down
payment. You do not have to label the value as a percent.
s d Loan-to-Value (LTV) — Calculates the loan-to-value
percent when a Down Payment and Sales Price,
Loan Amount and Down Payment, or Loan Amount
and Sales Price are entered. Also calculates the
above dollar values if an LTV percent and one of the
above values are entered (e.g., entered Sales Price
and LTV% will calculate Down Payment and Loan
Amount).
s ˆ Annual Percentage Rate (APR) — Calculates APR
(for fixed-rate loans only) based on the entry of
points and/or non-recurring loan fees paid at initia-
tion. It also calculates total finance charges, monthly
mortgage insurance, and PIMI payment, based on
the entry of mortgage insurance via the s I keys.
s b Periodic — Used to specify a mortgage component
(Term or Interest), Income, or Amortization/Remaining
Balance value as per period rather than per year .
For example, 3 6 0 s b T enters 360
periods, or months.

4 — M ORTGAGE Q UALIFIER P LUS
®
s ÷ Payments per Year (Pmt/Yr) — Used to set the
number of payment periods per year. Default value
is 12, for monthly.
Note: You can store the number of payments/year permanently or
semi-permanently. See Preference Settings).
a Amortization (Amort) — Finds total interest, princi-
pal, remaining balance, remaining term and estimat-
ed mortgage interest tax deduction.
The output of this key is as follows:
Press Display or Calculation
1 Displays range of periods
2 Calculates total interest for period range
3 Displays total principal for range
4 Calculates total principal and interest
5 Calculates remaining balance
6 Calculates remaining term
7 Calculates estimated mortgage interest tax
deduction for the specified period, based on
the default tax bracket of 28%*
*You may enter any tax bracket (e.g., 30%, press 30
s + and recalculate amortization values).
Note: This is only for estimating a mortgage interest tax
deduction — it does not include property tax. See Tax Savings
Function for income tax savings including property tax and
mortgage interest.
s a Remaining Balance (Bal) — Displays the remain-
ing balance when preceded by a single year or
range of years (or individual payment or range of
payments by using the s b keys). Note that
you can also view the remaining balance as part of
the Amortization display (see above adescription).
: Colon Separator (Date) — Used as a separator for
entering dates, ARM adjustments, qualifying ratios,
Combo Loan (1st/2nd) interest and terms, and for
entering amortization ranges.
s ) Month Offset (Mo Offset) — Used to set the first
month of payment if other than January.
s : Odd-Days Interest — Calculates the prepaid inter-
est, or simple interest accumulated (based on a
360-day year) during the days before the first loan
payment is made using the interest rate stored in
the Interest register.

U SER ’ S G UIDE — 5
A Adjustable Rate Mortgage — Calculates the pay-
ment and re-amortizes a fully or partially amortized
Adjustable Rate Mortgage based on the inputs of
both an Interest Adjustment and a Term Adjustment,
which are entered using the Colon :key (Interest
Adjustment :Term Adjustment). For example, an
ARM which increases 1% every six months is entered
1 : • 5 A; an ARM which decreases 1% every
six months is entered 1 : • 5 s A.(ARM
rates are stored permanently.)
s % Lifetime Interest Cap (ARMs) — Sets the lifetime
interest cap for ARMs by entering the maximum
interest increase. This is a permanent setting. To
clear, set the cap back to zero (0 s %).
s T Bi-Weekly (Bi-Wkly) — Converts a regular monthly
loan to a Bi-Weekly loan, where the buyer may real-
ize significant interest savings. After loan variables
are entered, pressing s T displays the reduc-
tion in term. The second press of Tshows the
total interest savings; third press displays the total
interest paid ; fourth press displays the total principal;
and fifth press displays the total principal and inter-
est paid. Pressing pwill calculate the bi-weekly
payment. Pressing s T again will return and
re-calculate to the original term, or pressing o
twice will exit Bi-Weekly Mode.

Tax, Insurance and Expense Keys
In addition to Qualifying, the following keys are also involved in PITI
or total payment calculations (e.g., they are added to the monthly
payment):
t Property Tax — Used for calculating PITI and Total
payment, and Qualifying. Stores estimated annual
property tax in either percent or dollar amount. If
entered as an annual dollar amount, a press of ®
and tconverts to the monthly tax amount, and
pressing tagain converts to the annual percent-
age rate. If entered as a percentage, pressing ®
tconverts to the annual dollar amount, and
pressing tonce more shows the monthly tax.
Note: Entering a number equal to or less than 10 is assumed to
be an annual percentage. Property tax is calculated from the
sales price (therefore, you should also enter a Down Payment).
I Property Insurance — Used for calculating PITI
and Total payment, and Qualifying. Stores estimated
annual property (or homeowner’s) insurance in
either percent or dollar amount. If entered as an
annual dollar amount, a press of ®and Icon-
verts to the monthly insurance amount or premium,
and pressing Iagain converts to the annual per-
centage rate. If entered as a percentage, pressing
® I converts to the annual dollar amount, and
pressing Ionce more shows the monthly insurance.
Note: Entering a number equal to or less than 10 is assumed to
be an annual percentage. Property insurance is calculated from
the sales price (therefore, you should also enter a Down Payment).
s I Mortgage Insurance (Mtg Ins) — Used for calculat-
ing PITI and Total payment, and Qualifying. Stores
estimated annual mortgage insurance (or Private
Mortgage Insurance) in either percent or dollar
amount. If entered as an annual dollar amount, a
press of ®and s I converts to the monthly
mortgage insurance amount or premium, and press-
ing Iagain converts to the annual percentage
rate. If entered as a percentage, pressing ® s
Iconverts to the annual dollar amount, and press-
ing Ionce more shows the monthly insurance.
Note: Entering a number equal to or less than 10 is assumed to
be an annual percentage. Mortgage insurance is calculated from
the loan amount.

U SER ’ S G UIDE — 7
Note: Tax and Insurance entered as dollar amounts will remain
fixed, even if sales price or loan amount is changed. However, if
entered as a percentage of sales price or loan amount, these
items will automatically be re-calculated if sales price or loan
amount is changed.
e Expense — For Total Payment and Qualifying.
Enters monthly housing expense (e.g., homeowner’s
association dues, maintenance and utilities).
Tax Savings Function
s t Estimated Income Tax Savings (Tax Svgs) —
Calculates an estimated annual income tax savings
for a mortgage, based on entered loan variables,
including property tax, mortgage interest, and tax
bracket. You may use the default Tax Bracket %
(default: 21%), or enter a new tax bracket prior to
pressing s t t to display the estimated
annual income tax savings; the third consecutive
press of twill display the monthly tax savings;
and the fourth press will display the estimated “after-
tax”, or net mortgage payment. An entered Tax
Bracket % is stored permanently.
Note: This function is different from the mortgage interest deduction
figured in the Amortization calculation, as it also includes property
tax for a total estimated tax savings and only provides an annual
estimate, not an estimate for a specified range. (See the a key
definition in the “Mortgage Loan Keys” section for details).
Rent vs. Buy Keys
s P Rent vs. Buy — Calculates a comparable sales
price, loan amount, and mortgage payment versus
the cost of monthly rent. You must enter loan vari-
ables and a tax bracket via s +, then enter the
prospective buyer’s current rent and press s
P. Consecutive presses of Pwill calculate the
comparable sales price, loan amount, monthly loan
payment (including tax/insurance, if entered), and
estimated annual/monthly income tax savings.
s + Tax Bracket (Tax Brkt%) — Permanently enters a
buyer’s tax bracket for figuring Rent vs. Buy calcula-
tions or for calculating an estimated mortgage inter-
est tax deduction in the Amortization calculation.
Press ® + to display stored percentage.
(Default = 21%)

Qualifying Keys
q (Qualify Based on 28%-36%) — A multi-function
key which, based on entered variables, performs the
following pre-qualifying functions:
1) Stores income and debt ratios for loan quali-
fying. Ratios are entered using the Colon :key
(Income Ratio :Debt Ratio). For example, income
and debt ratios of 28% and 36%, respectively, are
entered and permanently stored as follows: 2 8 :
3 6 q. Default income and debt ratios for this
key are 28% and 36%, respectively. You may
change qualifying ratios, if desired.
What are Qualifying Ratios?
The income ratio calculates the allowable percent-
age of income for the total housing payment, while
the debt ratio finds the allowable percentage of
income for the total housing payment, plus long-term
debts (usually 12 months or longer). The conserva-
tive rule is that total housing expenses should be
28% or less of income, while total housing expense
plus monthly debt should be 36% or less of income.
INCOME RATIO =
TOTAL HOUSING EXPENSE
GROSS MONTHLY INCOME
DEBT RATIO =
TOTAL HOUSING EXPENSE + MONTHLY DEBT
GROSS MONTHLY INCOME
Note: Typically, when figuring government loans (FHA/VA), these
formulas also include estimated expenses for maintenance and
utilities (added to the Total Housing Expense for both ratios).
Also, real estate financing and qualifying varies per region and by
lender, who of course, take other factors into consideration, such
as a buyer’s credit and employment history.

2) Calculates the maximum loan amount for
which a buyer may qualify, based on the stored
income and debt qualifying ratios and the entered:
• Term
• Interest
• Annual Income
• Monthly Debt
—and optional—
• Annual Property Tax and Insurance
• Annual Mortgage Insurance (Private Mortgage
Insurance or PMI)
• other monthly housing expenses (e.g., home-
owner’s association dues)
The output of this key is as follows:
Press Calculation
1 Displays stored Qualifying Ratios (e.g.,
28%-36%)
2 Restricted/Maximum Qualifying Loan
Amount *
3 Buyer’s Actual Ratios (Income%:Debt%)
4 Unrestricted Qualifying Loan Amount *
5 Maximum Allowable Debt
*Note: The Maximum Qualifying Loan Amount is the “restricted”
loan amount the buyer may qualify for. This loan amount is
based on whichever of the two ratios — income or debt — limits
the buyer the most. The Unrestricted Qualifying Loan Amount,
however, is the higher loan amount. This loan amount is based
on whichever of the two ratios — income or debt — limits the
buyer the least. In other words, whichever ratio will give the
buyer the highest qualifying loan amount. For this Unrestricted
loan amount, the calculator will display the letters “UNR” (for
unrestricted) in the display and the word “INC” or “DEBT” to indi-
cate what ratio side this loan amount was based from (i.e.,
income or debt).
This restricted/unrestricted qualifying loan comparison is useful to
show clients what size loan they could qualify for if they paid off
debt or increased income.

3) Calculates the annual income (“Stated Income”)
required and allowable monthly debt for a desired
loan amount or sales price based on the stored
income and debt qualifying ratios and the entered:
• Term
• Interest
• Price (down payment) or Loan Amount
4) Also finds buyer's actual income and debt
ratios given both buyer and property data. By
default, the first press of qdisplays the stored
qualifying ratios and the second press calculates the
buyer's actual ratios.
Q Qualify Based on 31%-43% — Stores additional
Income and Debt ratios (e.g., FHA/VA) and operates
identically to the qkey. Default Income and Debt
ratios for this key are 31% and 43%, respectively.
Note: You can store whatever ratios you desire in the q or
Q keys.
s q Interest-Only Qualifying Based on 28%-36% —
Keys used for interest-only Qualifying; operate iden-
tically to the qand Qkeys.
s Q Interest-Only Qualifying Based on 31%-43% —
Operates identically as s q, but uses default
Income and Debt ratios 31%-43%.
i Income — Enters the buyer’s annual income for
loan qualifying. Enters a monthly income when pre-
ceded by the s b (periodic) keys (e.g., 5 0
0 0 s b i).
DEnters buyer’s long-term, monthly debt (e.g., car
payments, credit cards with large balances/long-
term monthly payments).

1st and 2nd Trust Deeds (Combo Loan) Keys
The Combo Loan keys show the savings of obtaining a 1st and 2nd
trust deed (TD) loan over a single, fixed-rate loan where mortgage
insurance, or private mortgage insurance (PMI), is required.
This routine requires a fixed-rate loan to be entered using the stan-
dard l, p, ˆand/or Tkeys so that a loan comparison can
be made.
* Loan-to-Value Combo Loan for 80:10:10 — This
key provides a loan comparison (see below key out-
puts*) of an 80:10:10 combo fixed-rate loan versus a
single, fixed-rate loan requiring mortgage insurance.
The stored values are a percentage of the sales
price (e.g., 80:10 identifies that 80% of the price is
covered by the 1st TD, 10% of the price is covered
by the 2nd TD and the remaining 10% is covered by
the down payment).
s * Interest-Only Combo Loan (Int-Only 2nd) —
Operates similarly to the 80:10:10 Combo Loan, but
for an 80:10:10 Combo Loan where the 2nd Trust
Deed is Interest-Only (the 1st Trust Deed is a stan-
dard fixed-rate P&I loan).
Note: You may also enter any LTV for either * or s * .
For example, to enter an 80:20 LTV, enter 8 0 : 2 0 * or
8 0 : 2 0 s * and continue to press the * key to
find the below values.

used when computing the 1st:2nd fixed Combo
Loan. Entry is made using the :key (Interest :
Term). Both interest and term values are required for
a valid entry. Values will be retained until changed or
reset.
s ! 2nd TD Interest:Term — Stores the annual interest
and term for the 2nd fixed-rate TD. Entry is made

BASIC ARITHMETIC EXAMPLES
Arithmetic
This calculator uses standard chaining logic, which simply means
that you enter your first value, the operator (+, –, x, ÷), the sec-
ond value and then the equals sign (=).
A. 3 + 2 = 5.00
B. 3 – 2 = 1.00
C. 3 x 2 = 6.00
D. 3 ÷ 2 = 1.50
Percentage Calculations
The Percent %key can be used for finding a given percent of a
number or for working add-on, discount, or division percentage
calculations.
A. 8 0 0 x 2 5 % = 200.00
B. 2 5 0 + 1 0 % = 275.00
C. 2 5 – 5 0 % = 12.50
D. 2 0 0 ÷ 5 0 % = 400.00
The Percent %function is a key that has special applications for real
estate professionals — especially when figuring a commission
amount.

Date Examples
Using the :key, you can quickly solve common real estate date
problems: escrow or closing dates, listing expiration dates, and the
number of days prepaid interest, etc. You enter a date as follows:
Numerical Month :Numerical Day :and two-digit Numerical Year.
The date function lets you: 1) add a number of days to a date to find
a second date (in the future), 2) subtract a number of days from a
date to find a second date (in the past), and, 3) subtract one date
from another date to find the number of days in between. For exam-
ple, if a 45-day escrow begins April 26, 2004, what is the closing
date and day?
