This is a simple Svelte-based web app for determining the legal minimum downpayment for mortgages in Canada. It is not meant to be super comprehensive, for example it doesn't allow you to calculate interest payments etc.
You can see it in action over at downpaymentcalculator.ca.
Query param
If you want to quickly find out the minimum downpayment calculation, you can include a query string parameter in the URL. Here's an example:
https://downpaymentcalculator.ca?asking=450000
This allows you to also bookmark certain price URLs if you want to return to them in the future.
First clone the repo, then install the dependencies with your JS package manager of choice:
git clone git@github.com:himynameisdave/downpayment.git
cd ./downpayment
yarn install # or `npm install`Then run this command to start the development server:
yarn run dev # or `npm run dev`The app will then be running at localhost:5000.
Issues and pull requests are quite welcome!
It would be cool to add a simple API for this, it would also be cool to respond with some JSON if you curl the endpoint.
