Tips for good results
- Change one value at a time to see which input matters most.
- Round-number tests (for example a rate half a point higher) show how sensitive the result is.
- Write down the result and the inputs, then compare with a second offer or scenario.
- Confirm the final figures with your lender, adviser or the official source.
Common mistakes
- Entering a percent as a decimal, or the other way round.
- Comparing two results that used different terms or assumptions.
