Commercial Mortgage Calculator
This commercial mortgage calculator works out the monthly payment on a commercial real estate loan from the loan amount, rate, amortization and term, then lays out the principal and interest in every payment, the remaining balance and the balloon due at maturity.
What it does
- Monthly payment on any commercial mortgage from loan amount, interest rate, amortization period and loan term
- Full month-by-month schedule: payment, principal, interest, and remaining balance
- Balloon-payment visibility for loans where the term is shorter than the amortization period
- Separate loan term and amortization period inputs for refinance planning
- Interest-only period support for bridge and construction-style structures
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you calculate a commercial mortgage payment?
Enter the loan amount, the interest rate, the amortization period and the loan term. The payment comes from the amortization period, the schedule the principal is repaid over; the term sets when the loan matures. Commercial loans are commonly quoted on a 25- or 30-year amortization with a 5-, 7- or 10-year term, so the calculator also shows the balloon still owed when the term ends.
Does this commercial real estate loan calculator work for any property type?
Yes. The payment math is the same for multifamily, retail, office, industrial, self-storage and mixed-use loans. Enter the terms from your quote; for a floating-rate loan, use today's all-in rate and rerun it at a higher rate to see how much the payment can move.
How is a commercial amortization schedule different from a residential one?
Commercial loans are usually partially amortizing: the payment is calculated on a 25- or 30-year amortization, but the loan matures in 5, 7, or 10 years, leaving a balloon balance due at maturity. The schedule shows that balloon explicitly — it is the number that drives refinance planning.
What is a balloon payment and why does it matter?
The balloon is the principal still outstanding when the loan matures before it fully amortizes. It matters because you must refinance, sell, or pay it off at maturity — so the schedule's ending balance, not just the monthly payment, determines your exit risk.
Does the calculator handle interest-only periods?
Yes. You can model an initial interest-only period followed by amortizing payments, the structure most bridge and construction loans use. The schedule shows the payment step-up when amortization begins, which is exactly where DSCR pressure appears.
