How our calculators work

We use standard amortisation formulas to calculate your current monthly repayments, then compare them against typical market rates for your loan type and size. The difference is your potential saving.

Market rate data comes from the Bank of England effective interest rate tables, British Business Bank Small Business Finance Markets reports, and our own monitoring of published lender rates. Rates are reviewed and updated at least quarterly.

Calculator results are estimates. Your actual rate will depend on your credit profile, business history, and the lender's criteria. We always recommend speaking to a qualified financial adviser before making decisions about your business finance.
