Use this business loan calculator to estimate your monthly payments in Canadian dollars (CAD), total interest, total repayment, and the effect of borrowing on your business cash flow. Enter your loan amount, annual interest rate, repayment term, monthly revenue, and expenses to explore different borrowing scenarios before approaching a lender.
How to Use the Business Loan Calculator
Enter the amount you plan to borrow and the annual interest rate offered or quoted by a lender. Select the loan term in years, then add your average monthly business revenue and expenses.
The calculator estimates the monthly payment and compares it with your income remaining after expenses. Adjust the figures to see how a different loan amount, rate, or term could affect your budget.
Understand Your Monthly Payment and Total Interest
Your monthly payment depends on the amount borrowed, interest rate, and repayment term. With a standard amortizing term loan, payments cover both principal and interest, and the outstanding balance declines over time.
A longer term can reduce the monthly payment but may increase total interest. Review both figures rather than choosing a loan based only on its monthly cost.
Check Loan Payments Against Business Cash Flow
Subtract monthly business expenses from monthly revenue to estimate the amount remaining before loan payments and any other costs not included in your inputs.
Compare this figure with the estimated payment to understand how much cash flow the loan could use. Actual affordability also depends on taxes, seasonal revenue changes, existing debts, owner withdrawals, and unexpected expenses.
Compare Business Financing Costs Before Borrowing
Use the results to compare possible loan amounts, rates, and terms. Total repayment represents the principal plus the estimated interest over the selected term.
Consider the lender’s fees, payment frequency, rate structure, collateral requirements, and any early-repayment charges before making a decision. This calculator provides an estimate, not a lender quote or approval decision.
