Loan Calculation Formulas

Monthly Payment Calculation: Uses standard amortization formula accounting for land loan specifics

Interest Rates: Land loans typically have higher rates (1-3% more) than standard mortgages

// Monthly Payment Formula
M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n – 1]

Where:
M = Monthly payment
P = Loan principal (land price – down payment)
i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate / 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

// Land Loan Adjustment
Final Rate = Base Rate × Loan Type Factor

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s different about land loans vs regular mortgages? +

Land loans typically have higher interest rates (1-3% higher), shorter terms (5-20 years vs 30 years), and require larger down payments (20-50% vs 3-20%). Lenders consider them higher risk because vacant land is harder to sell if the borrower defaults.

How accurate is this land loan calculator? +

Our calculator provides estimates within 5-10% of actual lender quotes. Final rates depend on your credit score, land location, and lender policies. For raw land, actual rates may be 0.5-1% higher than shown. Always consult with lenders for precise numbers.

What down payment is required for land loans? +

Most lenders require 20-50% down for land loans. Improved lots (with utilities) may require 20-30%, while raw land often requires 30-50%. Agricultural land may have special programs with lower down payments through USDA or Farm Credit System.

Can I get a 30-year loan for vacant land? +

Most traditional lenders max out at 15-20 years for raw land loans. Some may offer 30-year terms for improved lots in developments. Consider a construction-to-permanent loan if you plan to build within a few years – these often have better terms.

How do I improve my chances of land loan approval? +

To improve approval odds: 1) Have a 30%+ down payment, 2) Show strong credit (700+ score), 3) Provide detailed land use plans, 4) Consider local banks/credit unions, 5) Offer additional collateral if possible. Land with road access and utilities gets better rates.
