There's a dedicated section on that below.\nAs a general benchmark:\nTraditional bank loans: 8% to 12%\nOnline lenders: 12% to 25%\nIf you're comparing multiple lenders, run the calculator separately for each one using their quoted rate.

A 2-year loan is 24 months; a 5-year loan is 60 months.\nTerm length is one of the most consequential inputs in the calculator, and it pulls in 2 opposite directions. A longer term lowers your monthly payment, which feels more manageable, but it increases your total interest cost over the loan life.

This is what hits your cash flow immediately and directly.\nTotal repayment: The complete amount you'll pay over the loan's life, principal plus interest combined. This is the real cost of the loan, and it's often significantly higher than the amount you borrowed.\nTotal interest: The interest component in isolation, which tells you precisely what borrowing this money costs you.\nInterest as a percentage of principal: How much extra you're paying relative to what you received. A useful gut-check on whether the loan is efficiently structured.\nRepayment as a percentage of monthly revenue: If you entered your revenue, this shows how much of your income goes to debt service each month.","Review all your results together",{"_key":1297,"body":1298,"label":1299},"step-run-scenarios","One calculation gives you a data point.
