  • Equal instalments

Free & no sign-up · runs entirely in your browser. Results are estimates for general information, not professional advice — verify important decisions with a qualified expert. Last reviewed June 2026.

How it works

EMI = P × r × (1+r)n / ((1+r)n − 1)

Where r is monthly rate (annual ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is total months.

Example

A $100,000 business loan at 9% for 5 years = monthly EMI ≈ $2,076, total interest ≈ $24,548.

Frequently asked questions

Are business loan rates higher than personal loans?+

Often yes, especially for unsecured loans to new businesses. SBA-backed or asset-secured loans can be cheaper.

Does this include origination fees?+

No — add origination fees to the principal for a more accurate effective rate.

Quick answers

Short, sourced answers to the questions people (and AI assistants) ask most.

What is Business Loan?
The Business Loan Calculator turns a loan amount, interest rate and tenure into the monthly EMI, total interest and total repayment — the three numbers that decide affordability.
Why does Business Loan matter?
Every interest and payment figure is calculated from the principal, so it sets the scale of the result.
How is Business Loan calculated?
It applies the standard amortizing-loan formula: each EMI covers that month's interest first, and the remainder reduces principal, so early payments are interest-heavy and later ones principal-heavy. Formula: EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), r = annual rate/12.
What is a good business loan?
Personal/business loans roughly 8-15% (varies by credit)
What are common business loan mistakes?
Comparing loans on EMI alone — a lower EMI over a longer tenure usually costs far more in total interest.
When should you use the Business Loan Calculator?
Comparing lender offers, checking whether projected business cash flow covers the EMI with margin, or deciding between tenure options.

What is the Business Loan Calculator?

The Business Loan Calculator turns a loan amount, interest rate and tenure into the monthly EMI, total interest and total repayment — the three numbers that decide affordability.

How the Business Loan Calculator works

It applies the standard amortizing-loan formula: each EMI covers that month's interest first, and the remainder reduces principal, so early payments are interest-heavy and later ones principal-heavy.

EMI = P × r × (1+r)^n / ((1+r)^n − 1), r = annual rate/12
  1. Enter the loan amount you plan to borrow.
  2. Enter the annual interest rate quoted by the lender.
  3. Set the tenure in months or years.
  4. Read the EMI, total interest and total payable; stretch or shorten the tenure to see the trade-off.

Understanding the inputs

What each value means, why it matters, and a typical range — so you can fill in the calculator with confidence.

Principal

The original amount of money borrowed or invested, before any interest is added.

Why it matters:
Every interest and payment figure is calculated from the principal, so it sets the scale of the result.
Typical range:
Whatever you borrow or invest - there is no standard value.
How it affects results:
  • Higher: Larger payments and more total interest.
  • Lower: Smaller payments and less total interest.

Common mistake: Entering the property price instead of the loan amount (price minus down payment).

Interest Rate

The percentage a lender charges you to borrow, or a bank pays you to save, usually quoted per year (per annum).

Why it matters:
It is the single biggest driver of how much a loan costs or a deposit earns over time.
Typical range:
3% to 12% per year for most loans; about 6% to 8% is common for home loans.
How it affects results:
  • Higher: More interest paid and bigger payments.
  • Lower: Cheaper borrowing and smaller payments.

Common mistake: Entering a monthly rate where an annual rate is expected (or the reverse).

Loan Term

The length of time you take to repay a loan, in years or months.

Why it matters:
It trades monthly affordability against total interest - longer terms cost much more overall.
Typical range:
15 to 30 years for home loans; 3 to 7 years for car and personal loans.
How it affects results:
  • Higher: Lower monthly payment but much more total interest.
  • Lower: Higher monthly payment but far less total interest.

Common mistake: Choosing the longest term just for a low payment, ignoring the far higher lifetime cost.

Typical values

Loan Interest Rate:
Personal/business loans roughly 8-15% (varies by credit)

Common interpretation errors

  • Rate depends on credit and term
  • Compare APR, not just the headline rate

What impacts results most

  1. 1.
    Interest rate (High impact)The main driver of cost over the term.
  2. 2.
    Loan amount (High impact)Payment scales with the amount borrowed.
  3. 3.
    Term (Medium impact)Longer terms ease cash flow but cost more interest.

Key assumptions

  • Fixed rate
  • Equal instalments

Monthly payment per $100,000 borrowed (by rate and term)

3 years$3,134$3,227$3,321
5 years$2,028$2,125$2,224
7 years$1,559$1,660$1,765
10 years$1,213$1,322$1,435

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Comparing loans on EMI alone — a lower EMI over a longer tenure usually costs far more in total interest.
  • Ignoring processing fees and prepayment penalties, which change the effective cost.
  • Confusing flat-rate quotes with reducing-balance rates; a 10% flat rate is roughly 17-18% reducing.
