How to use the Loan Subsidy Calculator
Small business loan subsidy programs reduce the interest burden by covering the difference between market rates and the subsidized program rate. This calculator helps you quantify the real dollar value of that benefit.
Enter your loan balance, the current market rate you would otherwise pay, the subsidized rate you qualify for, and the duration of the subsidy. The result shows your monthly savings and total savings over the full support period.

Visit the SBA website (sba.gov) to explore 7(a) loans, 504 loans, and microloans. State and local governments also offer additional small business financing assistance programs that may stack with federal programs.
This depends on the program. Some subsidies cover only the first 1–3 years, while others apply for the life of the loan. Always confirm the subsidy term with your lender before finalizing the agreement.
This calculator uses a fixed balance for simplicity. If your loan is amortizing, actual savings will be slightly less as the principal decreases each month. For an exact figure, recalculate with your updated balance periodically.
