Are you interested in obtaining a commercial mortgage? A commercial loan calculator* can help determine your monthly payments. This is important because purchasing a location for your business is significant and requires a lot of preparation. Calculating your monthly mortgage payments before applying is one way you can ready yourself to take out a commercial loan.

Calculate Your Monthly Commercial Mortgage Payments

Repayment structures are different for commercial mortgages than residential mortgages. Commercial mortgages typically have two components: the amortization and the balloon payment. The amortization or the term of the loan calculates your monthly payment. The balloon payment becomes due after a specified period of time, requiring the borrower to pay that amount in full, refinance, or sell the property.

The commercial mortgage loan experts at First Bank are a great resource and can help you determine a monthly commercial mortgage payment (come by your local branch to speak with one today). You can also use our commercial loan calculator. This tool computes monthly principal and interest payments, and balloon repayments. All you have to do is enter information about your loan and click Calculate Your Results.

What you will need to know:

  • Loan amount – The total loan amount desired.
  • Interest rate – The percentage you pay for the use of an amount of money for a specified period of time. Individual loan interest rates depend on a number of factors such as current typical rates, location, and financial records. Interest rates will be either fixed or adjustable. Fixed rates will not change over the term of the loan, allowing for predictable payments. Adjustable interest rates can adjust either up or down at defined intervals according to a market index, which may increase or decrease your payments accordingly.
  • Term in number of years – The time limit within which the mortgage loan must be repaid. Commercial mortgage loans are offered in a variety of term lengths. Generally the longer the term, the smaller your minimum monthly payments will be.
  • Amortization term in number of years – The number of payments over which your loan payment is calculated. If this is longer than the term, this will result in a balloon payment for the final payment.

What is Required to Open a Business Checking Account? It’s standard for a business to have a business checking account. After all, a business needs to handle cash and pay bills. If you’re just starting a business, or even if you’re moving your business bank account to a new institution, you’ll need to show several pieces of documentation. So what is required to open a business checking account? The answer to that question is pretty similar from one bank to another. What You Will Need to Open a Business Checking Account Identifying Documents Confirmation of identity is required to open a business checking account. Bring along a government issued picture ID (e.g. driver’s license, passport) to corroborate your identity with your business’ registered information. Business Licenses Whether you are an LLC or an individual proprietor, bank officials will typically need to see your current business license. Legal Incorporation Documents According to Business News Daily, it is essential to bring along state-filed articles of incorporation in order to open a business checking account. If a business has numerous owners or operates on a board-advisory basis, the bank will require documentation granting the account opener the right to access funds and transactions. DBA Name Registration If you are DBA, doing business as a fictitious name, the law requires you to register that name with the state. Photocopy and keep this registration for your records, as you will need it to get started with business banking. Tax Identification Number Your business’ employment identification number, also known as the tax identification number, is a key tool for tax management and paying employees. Make sure to bring this to your business banking appointment. If you are a sole proprietor, you can use your own social security number for business tax purposes. These are the documents typically required to open a business checking account, though requirements may vary by state. However, by contacting your bank, you can easily determine what you need to have on hand to open your company’s checking account.

Image for tile. When Does an ACH Payment Need to Say “PAYROLL”? What is the Nacha PAYROLL rule? Nacha imposed this new rule in March 2026 to increase fraud prevention and decrease payment confusion. The word “PAYROLL” is now required in the Company Entry Description only when all of the following are true: The ACH entry uses the PPD SEC code The payment represents wages, salaries, or similar compensation The payment is made to an individual (an employee or consumer) If any one of those things is not true, the “PAYROLL” requirement does not apply. What is the Company Entry Description? The Company Entry Description is a short line of text included in an ACH transaction. It helps the person or business receiving the payment understand what the deposit is for when it shows up on their bank statement. Common examples include: PAYROLL RENT VENDORPAY REIMBURSE Nacha sets rules around this field to promote transparency and reduce fraud. One of those rules now requires a specific description — “PAYROLL” — in a very specific scenario. What is an SEC code? An SEC code (short for Standard Entry Class) is a three‑letter code used in the ACH network to describe what kind of payment is being made and who is being paid. Think of the SEC code as the label that tells banks and payment systems how to process the transaction. It identifies whether a payment is going to an individual or a business — and that distinction matters for compliance. Two of the most common SEC codes are: PPD — used for ACH payments to individuals, such as employee payroll CCD — used for business‑to‑business ACH payments, like vendor or service payments Nacha rules, including Company Entry Description requirements, are often tied to the SEC code. That’s why using the correct SEC code is just as important as the payment description itself. Why SEC codes matter: PPD vs. CCD A lot of the confusion comes from mixing up two common ACH SEC codes. The key question to ask is simple: Who is being paid — an individual or a business? PPD (Prearranged Payment and Deposit) Used for payments to individuals Common for employee payroll and other consumer credits This is the only SEC code where the “PAYROLL” description requirement applies CCD (Corporate Credit or Debit) Used for business-to-business payments Common for vendor payments, service fees, and reimbursements paid to a business entity The “PAYROLL” description requirement does not apply Who is responsible for getting it right? Under Nacha rules, the compliance obligation follows the originator of the PPD credit — the business that is paying the individual. That’s why it’s important to: Use the correct SEC code Apply the “PAYROLL” description only when required Avoid over-labeling business-to-business payments Using the wrong description can create confusion for recipients and raise unnecessary questions during reviews. The bottom line: Not every ACH credit needs to say “PAYROLL.” That requirement applies only to PPD credits paying wages or similar compensation to an individual. Business-to-business ACH payments using CCD entries are not subject to this rule. When you understand the “why” behind the rule, compliance becomes a lot less stressful. And if you’re ever unsure which SEC code or description is right for your ACH payments, your First Bank treasury management team is here to help — with clear answers, not guesswork.   Test your knowledge Select an option Paying employees their wages Paying a payroll service provider or staffing firm Paying a contractor or broker that operates as an LLC or corporation “PAYROLL” is required SEC code: PPD Receiver: Individual employee “PAYROLL” is not required SEC code: CCD Receiver: Business entity “PAYROLL” is not required SEC code: CCDReceiver: Business entity Use the dropdown to see common examples of when PAYROLL is required and not required in the Company Entry Description 4 min read
