Frequently Asked Questions
This calculator works for most business loan types including term loans, SBA loans, equipment financing, commercial real estate loans, and lines of credit with fixed terms. It uses standard amortization calculations applicable to most business financing scenarios.
Origination fees are one-time charges (typically 1-6% of loan amount) that increase your total borrowing cost. While they don't affect monthly payments, they reduce the net amount you receive and should be factored into your financing decision and cash flow planning.
The stated rate is the annual percentage rate (APR) quoted by the lender. The effective rate includes all fees and costs, giving you the true cost of borrowing. Our calculator shows both to help you compare loan offers accurately.
Payment frequency affects cash flow and total interest paid. Monthly payments offer better cash flow management and slightly lower total interest. Quarterly or annual payments may work better for seasonal businesses but typically result in higher total interest costs.
Calculate each loan offer separately, comparing monthly payments, total interest, and effective rates. Consider the impact on cash flow, total cost over the loan term, and any prepayment penalties. The loan with the lowest effective rate and manageable payments is typically best.
