Method and limitations

Cash gap = inventory + payroll + overhead − available cash − expected receipts. Interest uses simple annual interest for the entered number of days; the fee is a percentage of the estimated gap.

Results are planning estimates and can differ from lender, servicer, tax, insurance or association calculations because of timing, rounding, fees and contract-specific rules.

Compare full loan costs and usable cash

The specialist result above covers its stated question. Use this common worksheet to compare a fixed-rate monthly loan on the same basis as other FinToku tools. Enter every field; use 0 only for a cost that does not apply. Amounts are USD.

Principal already includes the financed fee: do not add it again. Record the combined financed/withheld charge once in the included-fees field. An outside cash fee is separate. A creditor payoff is a use of proceeds, not another fee. Enter a balloon only if it is additional to the regular payments.

No loan summary calculated. Missing costs are not treated as zero.
