How to Use the Payment Estimator

Using the payment estimator is easy. Simply fill in a few details about your customer’s project and select the calculate button. This will show you what your customer’s payment could look like.*

  1. Project amount – This may be the entire project cost or just the portion that they won’t be covering with savings or other payment methods.
  2. Program type – You can estimate your customer’s monthly payment with our standard program or pick from our wide range of special promotions.
  3. Interest rate – We offer free interest rates ranging from 11.9% to 17.99%, depending on your customer’s credit history, but you can reduce your customer’s rate even lower for a discount. Consult your rate sheet for more info about interest rate pricing.**
  4. Project term – Choosing the term determines how many monthly payments your customer’s project cost will be broken into. We offer terms ranging from 12 to 120 months for projects under $7,500 and terms from 12 to 240 months for larger projects.**
  5. Calculate – Once you input the above details, select the calculate button to generate your estimated monthly payment!
