How To Use The Business loan calculator

Enter loan details

Input the amount to borrow, choose a repayment term in months or years, and type the annual interest rate quoted by the lender. Knowing your loan eligibility beforehand can be helpful, so check guidelines on business loan qualification.

Include any fees

Add arrangement or completion fees where shown so the calculator folds these into the total repayable figure instead of hiding them. Understanding the impact of fees is essential; see our explanation of interest rates and fees for business loans.

Compare the results

Click calculate to reveal monthly repayment, total repayable, and total interest. Adjust inputs until the monthly number fits projected cash flow. For ongoing finance management, review business loan options and terms.

How Business loan calculator is calculated

Monthly repayment

Uses amortising loan formula to show monthly cost.

Monthly repayment

Payment (P) = [r × L] ÷ [1 − (1 + r)^−n]. L is loan amount, r is monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12), n is number of monthly payments. This spreads capital and interest evenly so each instalment is identical. For details, see the amortisation definition.

Total repayable

Multiplies payment by total instalments.

Total repayable

Total repayable (TR) = P × n. The calculator multiplies the fixed monthly payment by the total number of payments, giving the full amount that leaves your account, fees included if entered.

Total interest

Deducts principal from total repayable.

Total interest

Total interest (TI) = TR − L. By subtracting the original loan amount from the overall sum repaid, the calculator isolates interest cost, making it easy to compare rate or term changes.

Understanding Your Business loan calculator Results

Check affordability first

If the monthly repayment is above forecast free cash, consider reducing the loan amount or extending the term before applying. See business loans for more options.

Test rate sensitivity

Increase or decrease the interest rate by 0.5–1% to see how sensitive repayments are; most SME loans sit between 6% and 15% APR in the UK. Understanding interest rates helps in comparing offers.

Account for extras

Results assume timely payments and exclude early repayment charges or late fees. Read lender documents to spot these additional costs and see our interest rate explanations for more detail.
