Construction loan calculator for draw interest

This construction loan calculator estimates interest on the average amount outstanding during a draw period. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment. The rate is an assumption. The result is not a permanent mortgage payment and not an approval.

How it works

Interest uses the average balance, not the full commitment every day.

Draws usually start small and end near the full amount, so a planning shortcut is to apply the rate to an average balance. Interest equals the commitment times the annual rate times the fraction of a year times the percent of the commitment you say is outstanding on average. A $500,000 illustration at 9 percent for 12 months with 50 percent average use is $22,500 of interest, or $1,875 a month. That is not a payment a lender will lock. Inspections, fees, and a conversion to a permanent note are outside this page. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment.

01

Formula

Interest = amount × rate × years × average use.

Years are months divided by 12. Average use is the percent you enter. Fifty percent is a placeholder for a job that draws evenly. A job that funds late in the schedule should use a lower percent.

02

Example

$500,000 at 9 percent, 12 months, 50 percent outstanding.

Interest is $22,500. The monthly average of that interest is $1,875. The 9 percent figure is an assumption, not a rate Dengaro offers. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment.

03

Limit

This is not the payment after the building is done.

A permanent loan on the finished building uses the amortizing payment on the mortgage page. This page stops at interest during the draw. It does not model retainage, inspections, or interest reserves.

04

Equipment

The machine is a separate purchase.

An excavator, a loader, or a lift is construction equipment. The button names that equipment and does not send this project amount as the loan amount.

Important questions

Know what to expect.

Does this payment come from Dengaro?+

No. This page is an interest illustration from the rate you type. Dengaro arranges equipment financing for construction equipment.

Why use an average balance?+

The full commitment is not usually outstanding on day one. Interest on the average is a planning shortcut. Your draw schedule, if you have one, is more accurate. Type the average that schedule implies.

Is the monthly number a required payment?+

No. It is the illustrated interest divided by the number of months. A lender may bill interest monthly on the actual balance, which moves every draw.

What if the job needs a machine?+

That request is equipment financing. Dengaro arranges equipment financing and is not the lender. The construction loan amount stays on this page.
