Business Loan Calculator

Monthly payment for a business loan.

How this calculator works

Same amortization math as a personal loan. Small business loans typically run 3–10 years.

SBA loans, term loans, and equipment financing all follow this basic math with different rates and terms.

Rates and terms for business loans vary far more than consumer loans, largely because lenders price in business-specific risk factors like time in operation, revenue stability, and industry — shopping multiple lenders matters even more here.

Example

$50,000 at 8% APR over 5 years: monthly payment $1,013.82.

Frequently asked questions

Are business loan interest payments deductible?

Yes — business loan interest is generally tax-deductible as an operating expense. Consult a CPA for specifics.

Should I take fixed or variable rate?

Fixed is predictable — easier for cash-flow planning. Variable can be cheaper initially but risks rising with rates.

What affects the rate a lender offers?

Time in business, revenue history, credit score, and collateral all factor in — newer businesses with limited history typically face higher rates or need a personal guarantee.
