Terms of Use

Last updated: May 3, 2026

Educational use only

True Cost Mortgage Calc provides general educational calculations. Results are estimates and may be inaccurate, incomplete, or not applicable to your loan, property, location, taxes, insurance, or lender requirements.

No professional advice

Use of this site does not create a client, advisor, lender, broker, attorney, tax professional, or fiduciary relationship. Consult qualified professionals before making financial decisions.

Advertising and third-party links

This site may show ads or affiliate links. Third-party sites are responsible for their own content, policies, offers, and claims.

Limitation of liability

Use this site at your own risk. The site owner is not responsible for financial decisions, loan decisions, property purchases, missed costs, errors, or damages resulting from use of the calculator.

Use of estimates

All calculator outputs are estimates based on the numbers entered by the user and the formulas described on the methodology page. Results can be wrong if an input is wrong, incomplete, outdated, or not applicable to a specific property or loan program. The site does not guarantee that a lender will approve a loan, that a rate will be available, that taxes or insurance will match the estimate, or that repairs will cost the amount shown.

By using the site, users agree that they are responsible for verifying assumptions before making financial decisions. The site is meant to support planning conversations, not replace professional review.

User responsibility

Users are responsible for reviewing calculator inputs and confirming assumptions before relying on results. A small input error can produce a large output difference. For example, entering annual taxes as monthly taxes, excluding insurance, or using an unrealistic rate can distort the result. Users should compare calculator output against lender documents, tax records, insurance quotes, HOA documents, and inspection reports.

Continued use of the site means the user accepts that results are educational estimates and that Parker Innovations, LLC is not responsible for decisions made based on unverified assumptions.

Changes to the site

The site may change as calculators are improved, rate data is updated, content is revised, or advertising and affiliate policies are adjusted. A past calculator output may not match a future output if formulas, assumptions, rate data, or site features are updated. Users should rerun scenarios before relying on older saved results.

The goal of any site change is to keep the calculators useful, clear, and focused on mortgage affordability planning. Users should always verify assumptions before making a financial decision.

Accuracy and availability

The site may contain errors, omissions, outdated assumptions, broken links, or temporary technical issues. While reasonable effort is made to keep the calculators useful, no guarantee is made that the site will always be available or that every output will be accurate for every user. Mortgage rules, rates, taxes, insurance markets, and local costs can change.

Users should treat the site as one planning input among several. Before making an offer, refinancing, selecting insurance, or changing a financial plan, users should review formal documents and speak with qualified professionals. If a result appears unusual, users should check the inputs first and then contact the site with enough detail to reproduce the issue.

Intellectual property and permitted use

The site content, structure, branding, and calculator presentation are provided for personal educational use. Users may reference results for their own planning, but copying the site, republishing calculator content, or presenting the tools as another service without permission is not allowed.

External links and partner offers

The site may include links to third-party sources, advertisers, affiliate partners, or service providers. Those external sites are not controlled by Parker Innovations, LLC. A third-party link does not mean that the site guarantees the offer, price, rate, quote, approval, service quality, or availability. Users should review the third party's own terms, privacy policy, disclosures, and qualifications before submitting information or purchasing a product.

If partner links are added, they are intended to support relevant next steps such as comparing insurance, moving costs, refinancing options, or budgeting tools. They should not replace independent review. Users remain responsible for evaluating whether any third-party service is appropriate for their situation.

Jurisdiction and changes

These terms may be updated as the site changes. Continued use of the site after changes means the user accepts the updated terms. If any part of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining parts should continue to apply to the extent permitted by law.

Contact about terms

Questions about these terms can be sent to parkerinnovationsllc@gmail.com. A response to a question does not create a professional advisory relationship, lender relationship, attorney-client relationship, tax advisory relationship, or fiduciary relationship. Users should continue to rely on qualified professionals for personal decisions.

Educational scope

The site is intended for general planning and comparison. It is used to organize questions and test assumptions before a professional review. It is not used as the only basis for buying, selling, refinancing, borrowing, insuring, repairing, or budgeting for a home.
