How Revolving Credit Facility Costs are Calculated

Credit Line Utilisation

Shows how much of the committed limit is actually used.

Credit Line Utilisation

Utilisation Ratio is calculated by dividing the amount drawn by the committed limit: Utilisation Ratio = Amount_Drawn ÷ Committed_Limit. For example, drawing £600,000 on a £1,000,000 limit equals 60%. A higher utilisation ratio usually increases interest costs but lowers undrawn fees.

Interest Cost Calculation

Calculates interest on the drawn balance for the days in use.

Interest Cost Calculation

Interest Cost is calculated by multiplying the drawn amount by the annual interest rate and the number of days drawn, then dividing by 365: Interest_Cost = (Amount_Drawn × Annual_Interest_Rate × Days_Drawn) ÷ 365. For example, £600,000 × 8% × 90 ÷ 365 equals £11,836.99. The calculator sums interest over multiple draw periods if applicable. See more on interest rates.

Commitment Fee Calculation

Charges paid on undrawn funds to keep the facility available.

Commitment Fee Calculation

Commitment Fee is charged on the amount not drawn but reserved by the lender: Commitment_Fee = (Undrawn_Amount × Commitment_Fee_Rate × Days_In_Period) ÷ 365, where Undrawn_Amount = Committed_Limit − Amount_Drawn. For example, a 0.75% fee on £400,000 undrawn for 90 days equals £739.73. Understanding fees helps compare offers effectively. Learn more in revolving credit loans.

Understanding Your Revolving Credit Facility Calculator Results

Focus on total cost

Look beyond the headline interest rate and consider combined interest plus commitment fees to grasp the true annual expense. This provides clarity when comparing lender offers.

Test different utilisation

Vary draw amounts to simulate high and low utilisation scenarios. Costs rise with increased usage while commitment fees fall, helping spot the break-even point for maintaining the facility.

Account for extras

Remember the calculator excludes legal, monitoring, or early repayment fees unless manually added. Include these when building a comprehensive funding budget to avoid surprises.
