Calculation type: Calculating a percentage of a number (loan amount), then subtracting (down payment).
How to use the calculator: Step 1 (Loan amount): Use the
Basic Percentage CALCULATOR ("What is X% of Y?"). Enter
80 [X] and $
300000 [Y]. It will calculate
80% of $
300000.
Step 2 (Down payment): Subtract the loan amount (Step 1) from the property value.
The formula:
We want the down payment. The loan covers
80% of $
300000.
Loan amount = (
80 / 100) × $
300000 =
0.8 × $
300000 = $
240000
Down payment = $
300000 - $
240000 = $
60000
