What is a commercial mortgage calculator? 

A commercial mortgage calculator is a tool used to estimate the monthly payments and other key financial details associated with a commercial mortgage loan. Commercial mortgages are a type of loan taken out by a business or investor to purchase or refinance commercial properties, such as office buildings, retail centres, or apartments, for example. Commercial mortgage calculators help borrowers and investors understand the financial implications of a commercial mortgage.  

What factors will affect my commercial mortgage?

Here are some of the key features and calculations that will affect the cost of your commercial mortgage calculator:

  • Loan amount

You can input the principal loan amount, which is the amount you intend to borrow for the commercial property purchase.

  • Interest rate

You can specify the annual interest rate offered by the lender. This rate is a key factor in determining your monthly payments. You will also be able to see the average interest rates typically offered by commercial mortgage lenders.

  • Loan term

Commercial mortgages have varying loan terms, typically ranging from 5 to 20 years. You can select the loan term you're considering.

  • Monthly payment

The commercial mortgage calculator calculates your estimated monthly mortgage payment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term you provided.

  • Total interest paid

It calculates the total interest you will pay over the life of the loan. This can give you an idea of the total cost of borrowing.
 

Why use a commercial mortgage calculator?

A commercial mortgage calculator can help you understand how much your business could borrow to purchase a property. It will also help you to understand:

  • What your monthly repayments will look like 
  • How long a term length will suit your business 
  • How much total interest you will repay 
  • How much you will repay in total 

How are commercial mortgage repayments calculated? 

The key components in determining the monthly repayment amount for a commercial mortgage include the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term. Here's the factors used to calculate the repayments of a commercial mortgage:

  1. Loan Amount (principal): This is the total amount of money you borrow from the lender to purchase or refinance a commercial property. It's also known as the principal amount.
  2. Interest Rate: The interest rate is the annual rate at which the lender charges interest on the outstanding loan balance. It is usually expressed as a percentage. The interest rate can be fixed (remains constant throughout the loan term) or variable (may change over time based on market conditions or the terms of the loan).
  3. Loan Term: The loan term is the number of years or months over which you agree to repay the loan. Common commercial mortgage terms range from 5 to 25 years or more.

It's important to note that some commercial mortgages may have other factors that can affect the calculation, such as interest-only periods, or adjustable interest rates. In these cases, the calculation can be more complex. It’s important to review the terms of the specific commercial mortgage agreement or consult with a professional to ensure accurate calculations and understanding of the repayment structure.

While a commercial mortgage calculator can give you a good idea of how much you could borrow and how much it will cost, you shouldn’t rely only on the calculator.
