Boat Loan Calculator Information
To use the boat loan calculator, input the purchase price of the boat. You can input a required down payment in terms of either a dollar value or as a percentage of the purchase price. This will then compute the amount to be financed. Input your annual interest rate percentage, the term of the loan and the boat loans payment period.
The calculator will then return the required payment for each payment period. At this point you are able to create a printable amortization schedule. Here you will also be able to see the total interest payments over the course of the loan.
It is important to understand that this is a general boat loan calculator. Specific boat loans may include various costs and fees and may differ in their interest calculation methods. This calculator should only be used to gain an initial estimate of the repayment costs of your boat loan, you should always get a professional to calculate the exact repayments and costs associated with a specific boat loan.
The national marine bankers association also has some useful information relating to financing a boat. For example, you can see a discussion on the tax detectability of boat loan interest payments as well as a good article on the boat loan basics.
