The following are instructions on how to calculate the SBA Guaranty Fee at different loan amounts.
Depending on the loan amount, the SBA has different ways to calculate the fee amount. Examples are included for each level.
Loan Amount: 50,000 to 150,000
Take the loan amount and multiply by .85
Then take that figure and multiply by .02 (2%)
Example 150,000 x .85 = 127,500 x .02 = 2,550 is the SBA Guaranty Fee
————————————————————
Loan Amount: 151,000 to 700,000
Take loan amount and multiply by .75
Then take that figure and multiply by .03 (3%)
Example 350,000 x .75 = 262,500 x .03 = 7,875 is the SBA Guaranty Fee
————————————————————
Loan Amount: 701,000 to 1,000,000
Take loan amount and multiply by .75
Then take that figure and multiply by .035 (3.5%)
Example 1,000,000 x .75 = 750,000 x .035 = 26,250 is the SBA Guaranty Fee
————————————————————
Loan Amount: 1,000,001 to 5,000,000
This one is 3 steps
Example 3,250,000 would be figured as such
Step 1 to figure fee for 1,000,000
Take loan amount of 1,000,000 and multiply x .75 = 750,000 x .035 (3.5%) = 26,250
Step 2 to figure fee for amount over 1,000,000 in this case 2,250,000
2,250,000 (amount over 1MM) x .75 = 1,687,500 x .0375 (3.75%) = 63,281.25
Step 3 add both together
63,281.25 + 26,250 = 89,531.25 is the SBA Guaranty Fee
