Private lending planning tool

See the cash available. Understand the cost to exit.

Explore how fees, interest and a delayed repayment change a property-backed business loan. Start with the hypothetical example, then enter your own assumptions.

An illustration, not a quote or approval.

All amounts are Australian dollars. The starting rate, fees, term and LVR are hypothetical, not Balmoral or lender terms. Calculations run in your browser; this tool does not submit these figures as an enquiry.

01 / Loan costs

From gross loan to net cash.

Compare the planned term first. Add a delay to see additional holding costs under the same simple-interest assumptions.

Your loan assumptions
Full principal before any deductions.
Only debt being paid out by this new loan.
Use an annual rate, not a monthly rate.
Whole months; calculator range 1–360.
All three use simple interest on the gross principal. Capitalised interest does not compound in this model.
Fees and costs

All upfront fees below are deducted from the gross advance. Enter total payable amounts, including any applicable tax. Discharge is paid at exit.

Percentage of the gross loan.
Include applicable lender and borrower legal costs.
Total valuation costs in this illustration.
Borrower-paid fee only; do not add lender-paid commission again.
Add applicable fixed upfront costs once.
Paid at repayment, not deducted at settlement.
What if repayment is delayed?

This assumes the lender agrees to an extension at the same rate. An extension is not guaranteed. Default pricing and enforcement costs are excluded.

Whole months; zero means no delay.
Paid at the delayed exit. Add only new costs.

Net cash at settlement

$485,500

Cash remaining after the existing debt payout, upfront fees and any retained interest.

Total borrowing cost

$45,000

Interest and fees over the planned term. Excludes principal repayment.

Due at planned exit

$500,500

Principal, any capitalised interest and discharge costs.

Monthly interest payment $5,000

Interest is paid monthly. The exit amount includes principal and the discharge fee; monthly interest is already paid separately.

6 months in total

Delay interest is paid monthly at the same rate. The extension fee is paid at exit.

02 / Property equity

Illustrate equity under an assumed LVR.

Choose a property value and loan-to-value ratio (LVR) to explore the arithmetic. The assumed LVR is your modelling input; no lender limit is implied.

Your equity assumptions
A lender may accept a different valuation.
65% is an example only, not a panel parameter.
All existing debt to subtract from the assumed total limit.

Illustrative equity before costs

$250,000

Before fees, retained interest and any other deductions. This is a calculation using your assumptions, not an approved loan limit or cash offer.

Property value × assumed LVR
$650,000

Fees, retained interest, valuation, mortgage priority and lender policy can reduce the amount available. Any debt staying in place must also be considered when assessing the full funding structure.

How the calculations work

The assumptions behind the numbers.

Loan and cost formulas

  • Term interest = gross principal × annual rate ÷ 100 × months ÷ 12.
  • Upfront fees = establishment percentage ÷ 100 × gross principal, plus legal, valuation, borrower-paid broker and other upfront costs.
  • Net cash = gross principal − existing debt payout − upfront fees − retained interest, if selected.
  • Total borrowing cost = upfront fees + term interest + discharge costs. Principal and existing debt payouts are excluded.
  • Due at exit = gross principal + capitalised interest, if selected, + discharge costs. Serviced or retained term interest has already been paid.
  • Additional delay cost = simple interest for the extra months + additional exit fees. The original costs are not added again.

What this model assumes

All upfront fees and any retained interest are deducted from a single gross advance. The principal stays unchanged during the term. No principal repayments, staged drawdowns, interest on fees or compounding are modelled.

For a delay, the rate stays unchanged. Serviced interest continues monthly. Under retained or capitalised interest, extra delay interest is paid at the delayed exit. Extension fees are paid at that exit.

Daily interest calculations, minimum-interest periods, recurring line fees, early repayment terms, default charges and enforcement costs are not modelled. Add only fixed costs to the relevant fee inputs. Calculations round monetary components to cents; monthly payments are approximate.

Equity formula: max(0, property value × assumed LVR ÷ 100 − existing secured debt). This separate illustration does not assess borrowing eligibility or automatically change the loan-cost inputs.

Input limits keep the calculator manageable and are not lender lending criteria. Use the actual written term sheet to check every cost and condition.

Calculator questions

Does this calculator give me a private loan quote?

No. It uses your inputs and simplified assumptions to illustrate costs. The starting figures are hypothetical and are not lender rates, an offer or an indication of eligibility. Ask for written terms for your actual scenario.

Why is net cash lower than the gross loan?

This calculator deducts the existing debt payout, upfront fees and any retained interest from the gross advance. Repaying existing debt reduces cash received but is not counted as a new borrowing cost.

How does the calculator treat capitalised interest?

It adds simple interest to the amount due at exit, without compounding or interest on fees. Actual facilities may calculate interest differently, so compare the loan documents with the assumptions shown here.

Does the usable equity result tell me how much I can borrow?

No. It multiplies your property value by your assumed LVR and subtracts existing secured debt, with a minimum result of zero. It does not assess lender policy, valuation, mortgage priority, fees, borrower circumstances or the repayment plan.

Take the next step

Check the assumptions against your actual scenario.

Bring the amount needed, security, current debt, deadline and repayment plan. Balmoral is a broker; lender assessment and written terms determine what is available.
