Compare equal dollar adjustments
This calculator holds the down-payment percentage, term and interest rate constant. It calculates the reduction in principal-and-interest payment caused by lowering the purchase price, plus the corresponding reduction in down payment. A seller credit is shown separately as a potential upfront benefit, not as cash automatically paid to the buyer.
Read the financing conditions first
A credit may be limited by the loan program, eligible costs and actual transaction terms. An unused amount may not become additional buyer cash. Confirm the allowable treatment with the lender. Taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, association charges and any interest-rate change are excluded from the payment difference calculated here.
Keep the inputs with the result
Save the figures, their dates and the document or assumption behind each one. Change one input at a time to see what actually changes the decision. A result with uncertain inputs remains an estimate, even when the arithmetic is exact.
