Periodic rate:
Periodic Rate = (1 + APR / Compounding Periods)Compounding Periods / Payments Per Year - 1
Standard payment with balloon:
Payment = [Balance - Balloon / (1 + r)n] × r / [1 - (1 + r)-n]
Interest per period:
Interest = Beginning Balance × Periodic Rate
Principal paid:
Principal = Payment - Interest + Extra Principal + Balloon Due
Ending balance:
Ending Balance = Beginning Balance - Principal Paid
Enter the business loan amount, annual rate, and term. Select how often payments are made. Add lender fees, a balloon amount, and any extra payment you plan to make. Choose whether fees are financed or paid upfront. Press the calculate button. The result will show payment size, total interest, total cost, payoff date, and a schedule preview.
Use the chart to review balance reduction and interest growth. Export the full schedule using CSV for spreadsheets or PDF for records, loan reviews, and business planning files.
A business loan can support stock, equipment, hiring, marketing, or expansion. Yet every loan also creates fixed obligations. A repayment plan helps owners see those obligations before signing. It shows how much cash must leave the business each period. It also shows how interest changes the real cost of borrowed money.
Most business loans use amortized payments. Each payment contains interest and principal. Early payments often include more interest. Later payments usually reduce the balance faster. The exact split depends on the rate, term, compounding, and payment frequency. A shorter term can reduce interest. It can also raise the required payment.
Business loans may include origination fees, closing fees, or documentation charges. If those fees are financed, the balance increases. If they are paid upfront, the loan balance stays lower. Balloon payments also change the schedule. They keep regular payments smaller, but require a final lump sum. Extra payments can reduce interest and shorten payoff time.
Before accepting a loan, compare the payment with average monthly profit. Also review seasonal sales. A payment that looks easy in a strong month may be hard during slower periods. Keep a safety margin. This helps protect payroll, rent, tax payments, and supplier bills.
The calculator helps compare several borrowing choices. Test a higher rate, shorter term, larger extra payment, or lower balloon. Review total interest and payoff date. A loan should not only fund growth. It should also fit the company’s cash cycle, risk level, and expected return.
It estimates payments, interest, payoff dates, fees, and balances for a business loan. It helps compare borrowing options before accepting lender terms.
Yes. You can enter a percentage fee and fixed fee. You can finance those fees or treat them as upfront costs.
A balloon payment is a final lump sum due at the end of the loan. It can reduce regular payments but increases final payment risk.
Extra payments reduce principal faster. This can lower total interest and may shorten the payoff period, depending on loan terms.
Interest-only months mean early payments cover interest only. Principal reduction begins after that period, which can increase later payment pressure.
Compounding affects how the annual rate converts into each payment period. More frequent compounding can slightly increase borrowing cost.
Yes. Use the CSV button for spreadsheet analysis. Use the PDF button for printable summaries and loan planning records.
No. It is an estimate. Actual lender terms may include rules, taxes, penalties, variable rates, or charges not shown here.
