Frequently Asked Question
-
I am trying to audit an adjustable-rate loan and have no idea what the index value was; can I use Quick Calcs to help me?
Yes, Simply fill in the principal amount, payment and loan term and solve for interest rate. From this result, subtract the margin amount found in the note; the resulting number is the index amount. Going one step further, using the links provided you can determine if the index used was correct for the date on which the disclosure was completed.

I am trying to see what rate was used when a 3 year ARM adjusted; can this help me?
You must know the balance at the time of the rate adjustment and can use Quick Calcs to solve for balance. Then enter this balance (as principal), the payment and the remaining term. Solve for interest rate.
