Calculations and Checklists

Worked EMI, cash credit, DSCR, offer comparison, prepayment and equipment loan sums with the arithmetic shown, plus document and decision checklists.

A lender's credit officer looks at your business through a handful of numbers: how much cash the business throws off compared with the instalments (DSCR), how much stock and receivables support a working capital limit (drawing power), how much of your own money is in the project (margin) and how clean your bank statements and GST returns are. Doing those sums yourself before you apply tells you what limit is realistic, which offer is truly cheapest and whether to prepay or switch.

Begin with the business loan calculation guide and checklist, which links to everything here. The other guides each take one decision: how cash credit interest and drawing power are calculated, how lenders test eligibility with DSCR, comparing three offers on all-in cost, prepaying or foreclosing a business loan under the 2026 RBI rules, a machinery loan worked example, and a document checklist for your application.

The business loan EMI calculator, loan takeover calculator and upfront charges calculator use the same formulas. All figures in worked examples are illustrative.
