Medical practice line of credit calculator, explained for Gallatin, TN owners
A line's cost depends on how much is drawn and for how long, so a fixed-payment calculator does not fit it exactly. Work it by hand: multiply the average balance drawn by the rate and by the share of the year it is drawn, then add any charges. Illustration only, invented figures: an average of $30,000 drawn for four months at an annual rate of 10 percent costs about $1,000 in interest (our arithmetic: $30,000 x 0.10 x 4/12).
