How MegaTools handles home-finance tools
Clear inputs, clear assumptions, clear limits.
Inputs are explained
Each live tool should identify the numbers it needs and explain what those inputs represent before the result is calculated.
Assumptions are visible
Rates, taxes, insurance, fees, and other assumptions should be stated clearly so visitors understand what the estimate includes.
Results are estimates
Tool outputs support planning and comparison. They are not approvals, quotes, appraisals, or professional recommendations.
Privacy note: Each live tool should state whether calculations happen in the browser, whether entered values are stored, and whether any third-party service receives information.
Common questions
Using home finance tools responsibly.
Which home finance tool should I use first?+
Start with the Mortgage Payment Calculator if you already have a price, down payment, rate, and loan term in mind. Use the Home Affordability Calculator when deciding what price range may fit.
Do mortgage estimates include every homeownership cost?+
Not always. Check whether the tool includes property taxes, homeowners insurance, mortgage insurance, association fees, maintenance, utilities, and other costs beyond principal and interest.
Are these results loan offers?+
No. The results are planning estimates. Actual rates, fees, taxes, insurance costs, eligibility, and loan terms depend on lenders, location, credit, property details, and market conditions.
How will each tool explain privacy and assumptions?+
Each live tool should state what information it uses, which assumptions affect the result, whether calculations happen in the browser, whether values are stored, and whether any third-party service receives information.
Important: Home finance results are estimates for educational and planning purposes. They are not mortgage offers or financial, tax, legal, lending, insurance, appraisal, or real-estate advice.
