FIVE NORTH CAPITALBusiness Finance
Calculators

Estimate your equipment financing costs.

Run the numbers before you buy — estimated payments, lease vs. buy comparisons, and potential tax savings. These are planning estimates; we'll get you exact numbers once we know your equipment and business profile.

Key takeaways
  • Three free calculators: an equipment loan payment estimator, a lease vs. buy comparison, and a Section 179 tax savings estimator.
  • Each calculator runs entirely in your browser — no equipment or business details are submitted until you choose to request financing.
  • These produce planning estimates, not a loan offer; actual rate, term, and structure depend on lender underwriting.

Equipment Loan Payment Calculator

Estimate the monthly payment for a fully amortizing equipment loan.

Est. Monthly Payment
$2,802
Total Interest
$33,143
Total Cost
$183,143

This is an estimate for illustration only, not a loan offer. Actual rate, term, and structure depend on lender underwriting and your business's credit profile.

Lease vs. Buy Comparison

Compare an equipment loan (own it at the end) against a lease (lower payment, option to buy at the residual value).

Loan
Monthly Payment$3,114
Total Paid Over Term$186,825

You own the equipment outright.

Lease
Monthly Payment$2,802
Total Paid Over Term$168,143

Return it, or buy it for $15,000.

Illustrative estimate only. Actual lease structures vary by lender (e.g., $1 buyout, FMV, TRAC) and affect payment and tax treatment — we can help you compare real quotes once we know your equipment and timeline.

Section 179 Tax Savings Calculator

Estimate the first-year tax savings from Section 179 and bonus depreciation on a 2026 equipment purchase.

Total First-Year Deduction
$150,000
$150,000 Section 179 + $0 bonus depreciation
Estimated Tax Savings
$37,500
Effective net cost: $112,500

Based on the 2026 Section 179 limit of $2,560,000 (phasing out above $4,090,000 in qualifying purchases) and 100% bonus depreciation under current federal tax law. This is an estimate, not tax advice — confirm current-year limits and eligibility with your tax advisor or IRS.gov before filing.
