Bridging Loan Calculator

How to use a bridging loan calculator

Our bridging loan calculator is designed to help you plan your finances by breaking down the costs of your loan, making it easier for you to decide if a lender is right for you. You’ll find that rates differ between lenders, so our calculator allows you to effortlessly compare your offers.

To use the calculator, simply fill in the boxes with some accurate information and we’ll instantly calculate your results. The information you’ll need to provide is:

• Loan amount: This figure is the net loan amount required — the amount you receive before any fees or interest is applied to the loan.
• Term: The length of time, in months, you’ll require the loan for.
• Monthly interest: This is the interest rate charged for taking out the bridging loan. This will be calculated as a monthly rate.
• Arrangement fee: A fee charged by the lender for arranging the bridging loan.

There are many reasons why someone might take out a bridging loan, from buying a property at auction to covering the costs of a development project. As such, bridging loans can vary greatly in size.
