## 2. Core Mathematical Formulas & Financial Engines

### A. Mortgage & Loan Amortization
- **Monthly Principal & Interest ($M$)**:
  $$M = P \frac{r(1+r)^n}{(1+r)^n - 1}$$
  Where:
  - $P$ = Loan principal (Home price minus down payment)
  - $r$ = Periodic monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12)
  - $n$ = Total number of monthly amortization periods (Loan term in years $\times$ 12)
- **Total Monthly Housing Outlay (PITI + Fees)**:
  $$\text{Total Payment} = M + \text{Monthly Property Tax} + \text{Monthly Home Insurance} + \text{PMI} + \text{HOA}$$
- **Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI)**:
  Triggered when Loan-to-Value (LTV) exceeds 80% (down payment < 20%). Statutory automatic cancellation occurs under the Homeowners Protection Act (HPA) at 78% original LTV, with borrower cancellation requests allowed at 80% LTV.
- **Debt-to-Income (DTI) Benchmarks**:
  - Front-end DTI: $\le 28\%$ of gross monthly income allocated to housing costs.
  - Back-end DTI: $\le 36\%$ (conventional guideline) or up to $43\%\text{--}50\%$ (FHA/QM limits) allocated to total recurring monthly debt.

### B. Compound Growth & Retirement Wealth Accumulation
- **Future Value with Periodic Regular Additions**:
  $$FV = PV (1 + r/k)^{kt} + PMT \left[ \frac{(1 + r/k)^{kt} - 1}{r/k} \right]$$
  Where $PMT$ is recurring contribution, $k$ is compounding frequency per year, and $t$ is duration in years.
- **Rule of 72 (Doubling Time)**:
  $$t \approx \frac{72}{r}$$
- **Financial Independence / FIRE Target**:
  $$\text{Target Portfolio} = \frac{\text{Annual Living Expenses}}{\text{Safe Withdrawal Rate}}$$
  At a standard 4% Safe Withdrawal Rate (Trinity Study benchmark), Target Portfolio = $25 \times \text{Annual Expenses}$.

### C. Required Minimum Distributions (IRS Uniform Lifetime Table)
$$\text{RMD} = \frac{\text{Account Balance as of December 31 of Prior Year}}{\text{Applicable Life Expectancy Distribution Factor}}$$

### D. Corporate Finance & Cash Cycle
- **EBIT**: $\text{Revenue} - \text{COGS} - \text{Operating Expenses (OPEX)}$
- **EBITDA**: $\text{EBIT} + \text{Depreciation} + \text{Amortization}$
- **Cash Conversion Cycle (CCC)**:
  $$\text{CCC} = \text{DIO} + \text{DSO} - \text{DPO}$$
  Where:
  - $\text{DIO} = (\text{Average Inventory} / \text{COGS}) \times 365$
  - $\text{DSO} = (\text{Average Accounts Receivable} / \text{Total Credit Sales}) \times 365$
  - $\text{DPO} = (\text{Average Accounts Payable} / \text{Cost of Goods Sold}) \times 365$
- **Margin vs Markup**:
  $$\text{Gross Margin} = \frac{\text{Revenue} - \text{COGS}}{\text{Revenue}} \times 100\%$$
  $$\text{Markup} = \frac{\text{Revenue} - \text{COGS}}{\text{COGS}} \times 100\%$$
