Commercial Mortgage Calculator 🏦
A powerful tool for your commercial property financing needs.
The Mortgage Payment Formula (PMT)
The backbone of this calculator is the standard formula for calculating the fixed monthly payment (M) for a loan. Understanding this helps in appreciating how your payment is determined:
- M = Your total monthly payment.
- P = The principal loan amount.
- r = Your monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12).
- n = The total number of payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between a commercial and a residential mortgage?
A commercial mortgage is a loan for a business property, not a personal residence. Key differences often include a lower loan-to-value ratio (requiring a higher down payment) and a shorter amortization period compared to a residential mortgage.
What is a balloon payment?
A balloon payment is a large, lump-sum payment of the remaining loan principal that becomes due at the end of a loan term, which is often shorter than its full amortization period. This is a common feature of commercial loans not explicitly modeled in this standard amortization calculator.
What is a Debt Service Coverage (DSC) ratio?
The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) is a key metric used by lenders to assess a business’s ability to make its loan payments. It’s calculated by dividing the annual net operating income by the total annual debt service. Lenders typically prefer a ratio of 1.25 or higher for loan approval.
Can I use this calculator for variable-rate loans?
This calculator is specifically designed for fixed-rate mortgages, where the interest rate remains constant throughout the loan term. While it can be used to estimate initial payments for variable-rate loans, the actual payments may fluctuate over time based on market conditions.
Why are there so many charts in the result?
The charts are designed to provide a transparent and visual understanding of your loan. The pie and doughnut charts give an immediate summary of total costs, the bar chart breaks down payments annually, and the line chart helps you visualize the loan’s amortization over time and see how you build equity in your property.
