Assumes a fully amortising facility with monthly payments. Interest-only or balloon structures will differ.

Reading the output

The monthly figure assumes a fully amortising loan — equal payments that clear both interest and capital by the end of the term. Most unsecured and secured term lending works this way.

Total cost of borrowing adds the arrangement fee to the interest. Comparing facilities on headline rate alone regularly leads companies to the more expensive option.

Where the model does not apply

Interest-only, bullet and balloon structures carry lower monthly payments and a large final repayment. Bridging and development facilities are usually priced monthly and rolled up rather than amortised.

Invoice and asset finance are priced on drawn balances or per asset, so use the invoice finance calculator or ask us for a structured comparison instead.

Questions

Should I use the rate or the APR?

Use the rate the lender charges on the balance, then add fees separately, which is what this tool does. APR compresses both into one figure and is less useful for comparing structures.

Can repayments be seasonal?

Yes. Several lenders will shape repayments around seasonal cashflow. It has to be agreed at credit approval, not afterwards.
