The calc uses the number of properties entered to first determine the current purchase price of properties. It then adds the purchase price of any undeveloped land needed (if any) to the price, it then divides the total by the income.

This is a great calculator. Helped me a lot already! Got a question for you though — is the formula for these figures simply a matter of taking the most current cost of a property and dividing it by the income amount? I’m curious because I want to do something like this for Mobsters and it APPEARS that’s how it might work. Thanks…for a great tool and for your future response.

Request received and implemented. The ‘BACK’ link should now no longer wipe the contents of the form. Let me know if there is still a problem.

hey i’ve got a suggestion that would make the calculator more “user friendly”. When you click the back button to take you back to the number entry page: could you make it so that, instead of refreshing the calculator with empty text boxes, it saves the number of properties that you entered so you don’t need to re-enter the number each time you use it.

Nice. It should be noted for people using this calculator that even when undeveloped property looks like the best deal, buying a bunch of plains or town squares will also drive up the cost of developed properties that depend on them. It may not be a good idea to gobble up a bunch of them even when they look like they provide the best ROI.
