Business Loan Amortisation Calculator
The following amortisation graphs detail month-by-month data on the progress of the proposed loan. The first chart below examines the reducing loan balance over the course of the finance contract term. The second graph illustrates the portion of each monthly repayment allocated to payment of interest vs principal reduction.
How to use our Business Loan Repayment Calculator
Our Business Loan Repayment Calculator helps you estimate business loan repayments, compare finance options and understand the true cost of borrowing before you commit. It is important because small changes to your loan amount, interest rate, term or balloon payment can materially change cash flow, total interest and end-of-term obligations. This calculator provides an indicative estimate only and is designed to support planning and budgeting for business growth.
How to complete each section for the best result:
1. Loan Amount
Enter the amount you expect to borrow as a whole number (no dots or commas). Include any costs you plan to capitalise into the loan, such as stamp duty, registration, insurance or other applicable fees, so the estimate reflects your real financed amount.
2. Balloon or Residual Payment (optional)
Select a residual as a percentage of the purchase price. A higher residual usually reduces ongoing repayments, but increases the amount due at the end and can increase total interest over the term. Choose a residual only if you have a realistic plan to refinance, pay it out, or sell an asset to meet the final amount.
3. Term of Loan
Select the number of years you want to repay the loan. A longer term generally lowers periodic repayments but increases total interest paid. A shorter term can reduce total cost but may place pressure on cash flow.
4. Interest Rate
Select an indicative annual interest rate to run a scenario. Your actual rate depends on lender assessment and your business circumstances, so consider testing multiple rates to stress-test affordability.
How to interpret the results:
1. Repayment estimate
Use the repayment figure as a budgeting guide for regular cash flow planning. If you selected a residual, remember the final payout is additional to the periodic repayments.
2. Amortisation charts
Review the reducing loan balance over time and the split between interest and principal. Early repayments typically include a higher interest component, with principal reduction accelerating later.

Recent rural machinery coverage points to a familiar seasonal pattern: as major field days and dealer demonstrations put new machinery in front of growers, the upgrade conversation quickly shifts from horsepower, capacity and technology to affordability, timing and finance structure. - read more
Recent rural machinery coverage has again highlighted how quickly seeding technology is moving, with growers showing stronger interest in wider bars, larger air carts, improved metering systems and more accurate seed and fertiliser placement. For grain producers working with narrow sowing windows, the attraction is straightforward: cover more country at the right time, reduce overlaps, improve establishment and make better use of labour. - read more
Recent rural machinery coverage points to a used equipment market that is becoming more balanced after several years of tight supply, elevated values and strong competition for well-kept machines. For Australian farmers who delayed upgrades during the peak pricing period, that shift may create a more practical window to replace ageing tractors, headers, seeders, sprayers or support equipment without the same pressure to move immediately. - read more
Recent rural machinery coverage has again put precision spraying in the spotlight, with growers showing stronger interest in optical and camera-guided systems that can target weeds more selectively. For broadacre farms facing herbicide resistance, tighter chemical rules and rising input costs, the appeal is clear: better application accuracy, reduced waste and the potential to cover large areas with fewer unnecessary passes. - read more
