This feature estimates the desired investment rate of return and can help answer questions like ... Do I borrow or pay cash (i.e. cash from savings or investments) for a purchase? What minimal investment return (after taxes) would I need to cover the interest payments on the loan? Should I pay off an existing loan? The desired investment return rate calculated, is estimated using the remaining principal and term of the loan. This calculation assumes that the return from investments would be subjected to yearly taxes (i.e. taxes subjected to capital gains, dividend income, interest income, etc). The amount of the investment is decreased monthly by the amount of the monthly loan payments (i.e. principle & interest) and yearly for taxes on investments returns. This calculator assumes that any allowable tax deduction of loan interest (e.g. home mortgage) is factored into the effective tax rates input in the Federal Tax Rate and State/Local Tax Rate input values. Desired investment return over loan term period: This shows the average annual total return (%) desired from an investment and the actual return ($) over the remaining term of the loan. The picker provides 10 additional higher investment return scenarios for comparison purposes.
