📐 How business loans are calculated

Business loans use the standard amortization formula to calculate payments. Here's how it works:

The formula:

M = P × r × (1 + r)n ÷ ((1 + r)n - 1)
  • M = Payment amount per period
  • P = Loan amount (principal)
  • r = Periodic interest rate
  • n = Total number of payments
Example: $100,000 business loan at 8% APR for 5 years
Monthly payment = $2,027.64
Total interest = $21,658.74
Total payment = $121,658.74

Total Payment $0.00
Loan Amount $0
Total Interest $0.00
Total Payment $0.00

Formula Used

Monthly payment = P × [r(1 + r)^n] ÷ [(1 + r)^n − 1]
P = principal, r = periodic interest rate, n = number of payments.

How the formula is applied

The calculator applies the entered principal or balance, periodic interest rate, repayment term and any supported fees or extra payments. Payment and interest figures depend on compounding frequency, payment timing and which taxes, insurance or charges are included.
