Property ValueThis is the amount from Enter Property Valuation you entered for the investment(s) current value. Your Estimated Average Capital Growth % is applied to this value to estimate the value over the next ten years. Enter zero for Estimated Average Capital Growth %, Estimated Annual Rental Growth Rate and for Enter Inflation Rate, If you wish to compare using today's dollar value over the next ten years.

BorrowingsThe amount for the first year is taken from the Enter Total Borrowings that you entered. The principal payments that you plan to make will reduce the borrowings over the following years.

Interest on BorrowingsThis is calculated on a monthly basis, with twelve months added together for the annual total. The interest incured for each month is treated as being paid in that month (i.e. not the following month when it is normally paid). The interest is calculated using the average interest rate that you entered. You may have several mortgages at different rates. Since this is only an estimating tool, take a guess at what your average interest rate will be for the next ten years, and calculate your possible cash flow etc.

Principal PaymentsThis is calculated by taking the Enter Monthly Mortgage Payments then subtracting the Interest on Borrowings. This is the annual amount.

Enter Monthly Mortgage Payments.This should be the total (including interest and principal) monthly payment that you are paying or you plan to pay. The assumption is made that you either know what your monthly payments are, or that you know the cashflow you require and will alter the monthly payments accordingly. In this second case, you may determine you ideal cashflow, but because of factors such as your age, amount you are borrowing, length of term or other conditions imposed by the lender, your actual monthly payments may be different from your ideal. The Enter Average Interest Rate and Enter Monthly Mortgage Payments are used to calculate the future principal payments and borrowings.
