Commercial Loan Payment Calculator 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. Click here to 3 min read
Woman sitting in fancy hotel lobby using a laptop. Business Owners: Put Automation to Work for You A year ago today, Ann was a totally different entrepreneur. Her title might have been Owner of Little Genius Tutoring, but her to-do list didn’t quite match. She was trying frantically to keep all her students and parents happy, while also juggling the following tasks: Drafting invoices in Word and mailing them to clients—sometimes twice, when a parent would forget to send payment. Trying out various accounting programs and software but getting frustrated and reverting back to a spreadsheet to track her income. Digging through piles of checks and receipts every month to figure out which clients had paid and who was overdue. It soon became clear that Ann was actually wearing the hats of Client Services, Billing Manager, Systems Manager, and Bookkeeper. Her tutoring business was staying afloat, but she was working tons of extra hours just to make ends meet. Does this sound like a familiar story? Automation at Work Fast forward to today: Ann’s to-do list is much shorter, and she’s gained back valuable time in her day. She spends most of her workweek doing what she loves — helping her students — and just a fraction of her time collecting and tracking payments. What changed in the last year? Ann found Autobooks: the only way to collect electronic payments that’s plugged right into her First Bank business checking account. Now clients pay her through Autobooks — instead of by cash or check. And the best part? Parents can pay from their phone or computer, at whatever time of day is convenient for them, while also using whatever payment method they prefer: a credit card or check (debit from their checking account). When Ann signs into her business checking account, she has an instantaneous view of who’s paid in full and who still owes money. If a parent’s payment is late, Ann can send an automatic email reminder—no phone tag and no printing out another invoice. Ready to get started to see if Autobooks can help you save time too? Sign up for a free demo, stop by your local branch, or contact Business Support. You could be receiving electronic payments before the end of the day. 2 min read
