PRESS RELEASE: September 1, 2022
For all new loan applications as of October 1, 2022, the new structure will be as follows for calculation of the SBA Guaranty Fee:
There will be NO FEE: For all loans under 500,000. The fee will be waived until further notice or announcement. See the chart below for calculation of other levels of the fee:
| Loan Amount | Fee |
|---|---|
| 500,001 to 700,000 | 0.55% |
| 700,001 to 1,000,000 | 1.05% |
| 1,000,001 to 5,000,000 | 3.5% of the Government Guaranteed portion up to 1,000,000, plus 3.75% of Government Guaranteed portion over 1,000,000 * |
Note* The Government Guaranteed portion of the loan is 75%
If you have already applied and the lender has a loan number assigned to your file from the SBA, your application will not be eligible for the discount. This new fee structure is only available on loan files that receive a loan number from the SBA as of October 1, 2022 and forward.
The fee is now much easier to calculate for smaller loans at 1,000,000 or below. The fee is calculated on the total loan amount x the multiplier, without factoring in the guaranty percentage. The 75% Guaranty Fee is only factored in when the loan is at or above 1,000,001.
Four examples:
Example 1: A loan for 455,000 would have NO SBA Guaranty Fee. It would be waived entirely.
Example 2: A loan for 620,000 would have an SBA Guaranty Fee of $3,410 (620,000 x .0055)
Example 3: A loan for 852,000 would have an SBA Guaranty Fee of $8,946 (852,000 x .0105)
Example 4: A loan for 2,100,000 would have an SBA Guaranty Fee of $76,250
(Example 4 – The first Million has a fee of 35,000 (1,000,001 x .035) and the second 1,100,000 has a fee of 41,250 (1,100,000 x .0375). These are added together for a total fee of 76,250)
