About Business Loan Repayment Calculator (Australia)
Australian SME pricing splits on security: property-secured business loans price near home-loan-plus-a-margin (7–9% zones), unsecured bank loans run several points higher, and fintech unsecured products (Prospa-class) reach well into the teens and twenties for speed. The default — A$80,000 at 9.5% over 5 years — represents a mid-market partially-secured deal at a major or quality non-bank. Two structural fixtures to read before signing: DIRECTOR GUARANTEES (near-universal; often supported by a caveat or registered security over the director's home — understand exactly which) and the PPSR registration the lender files over business assets, which future financiers will see. 'No security required' marketing frequently means 'no security EXCEPT your personal guarantee and a PPSR blanket' — the comparison rate and the security schedule tell the truth. Cash-flow lenders quote weekly repayments to soften the optics — multiply by 4.33 and compare against this calculator's monthly figure. Interest is deductible, instant asset write-off thresholds (when current) reward equipment purchases, and the genuinely useful question for any borrowing: does the funded activity return more than the after-tax cost of ~7% (9.5% × 0.75 at the 25% company rate)? If not, the cheapest loan is still a bad one.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a caveat and a mortgage over my home?+
A registered mortgage gives the lender direct power of sale; a caveat merely blocks you from dealing with the property until the debt clears — weaker for them, still serious for you (it freezes refinancing and sale). Many fintech 'unsecured' loans lodge caveats. Ask precisely: PG only? Caveat? Second mortgage? Price each honestly.
Why do fintech lenders quote weekly repayments?+
Smaller numbers feel affordable: '$450/week' reads better than '$1,950/month' for the same loan. Weekly debits also smooth THEIR risk. Convert every quote to monthly (×4.33) and to an annualized rate — ASIC's comparison-rate regime doesn't fully cover business lending, so the conversion burden is yours; this calculator is the neutral ground.
Secured ya unsecured — kitna fark padta hai rate me?+
Property security aam taur par 3–6 percentage points bachati hai: ~8% secured vs 12–15% quality unsecured vs 20%+ fast-cash fintech. A$80,000 par 5 saal me har 3 points ≈ A$6,800 ka farak. Ghar daav par lagana hai ya nahi — yeh alag sawal hai; PG ke through aksar woh waise bhi exposed hota hai.
Can my business deduct the interest and fees?+
Yes — interest, establishment fees and ongoing charges on business-purpose borrowing are deductible against business income (companies at 25–30%). Keep the purpose trail clean: mixed personal/business draws on one facility invite ATO apportionment. After tax, a 9.5% loan costs a profitable company ~7.1%.
