Typically down payments range from 5-20% of the purchase price.

Amount currently saved
Total you currently have saved for your new home.

Years to save
The number of years you wish to save.

Estimated Interest Rate on your savings account
This is the interest rate you are currently earning on your savings account. For the purposes of this calculator, taxation is not factored into the results.
