What the Land Loan Calculator calculates
Computes the level payment, total interest and full amortisation schedule for an instalment loan, and solves the same annuity equation backwards for the rate, the term or the amount that can be borrowed. Handles extra principal, balloon structures and fees withheld at closing.
How to use this Land Loan Calculator
Enter Loan amount, Annual interest rate, Loan term and Term - additional months. Payment updates as you type. Change one figure at a time to see what drives the result.

When is one allowed?", 13 CFR 120.212 - What limits are there on the maturities of 7(a) loans? and 26 U.S.C. 72(p)(2)(B) - repayment period for a loan from a qualified employer plan.
