About this tool
What the Farm Loan Payment Calculator does
Many farm loans are repaid annually or semi-annually to match harvest income rather than monthly. The payment uses the standard amortisation formula with the rate and number of periods adjusted to the payment frequency.
Formula
- Payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n)
- r = annual rate ÷ payments per year; n = years × payments per year
