The business loan calculator assumes: (i) a constant interest rate throughout the amortization period and (ii) that interest payments will be made monthly for both payment types (Principal Plus Interest or Blended). The calculations produced do not account for, among other things, the following factors that may impact amortization: (i) non-scheduled payment reductions such as lump sum payments, (ii) Business Loan Insurance Plan premium payments, (iii) leap years, (iv) maturities on dates other than payment due dates or (v) interest adjustments. Due to the foregoing, the amortization schedule produced by the business loan calculator may differ from an actual payment schedule. The calculations and amortization schedule produced are: (i) based on the accuracy and completeness of the data you have entered, (ii) based on assumptions that are believed to be reasonable, and (iii) for estimation purposes only and should not be relied upon for specific financial or other advice. When you make your credit application, interest rates may have changed or may be different due to information contained in your application.
