Is the Business Loan Calculator free?
Yes. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no usage limits.
Does it use a specific currency?
No. Amounts are currency-neutral and use the same unit across all inputs, so it works in any country.
How does an origination fee change the APR?
The fee is usually deducted from the loan, so you receive less but repay the full amount. On $100,000 at 9.5% for 5 years with a 2% fee, you get $98,000 and pay $2,100.19 a month, which is a real APR of about 10.37%.
Does this work for SBA loans?
Yes for the payment: enter the SBA rate, term and guarantee fee as the origination fee. SBA 7(a) loans often have variable rates, so the payment can change over time.
