How the farm loan calculator works

Loan payment:
The calculator subtracts down payment and credits from project cost, adds fees, then calculates the payment using interest rate, term, and payment frequency.

Total interest:
Total payments are compared with the loan amount to estimate total interest over the loan term.

Affordability:
Annual debt payment is compared with annual farm income available and the target debt service ratio.

Remaining balance:
Years already paid are used to estimate remaining principal balance on the loan.

Frequently asked questions

How do you calculate a farm loan payment?

Subtract the down payment and credits from the purchase price, add fees, then use the loan amount, interest rate, loan term, and payment frequency to calculate the payment.

How do you calculate total farm loan interest?

Multiply the payment by the number of payments, add any balloon payment, then subtract the original loan amount.

What is annual debt service?

Annual debt service is the total loan payment amount due in one year. For monthly loans, it is the monthly payment multiplied by 12.

Why does payment frequency matter?

Monthly, quarterly, semiannual, and annual payment schedules change the periodic interest rate and number of payments, which can change the payment amount and total interest.
