Using the schedule in the audit file
Debt testing has three numbers that come straight off an amortization schedule: the carrying principal at year end, the interest expense for the year, and the principal due in the next twelve months. Recompute the schedule from the note agreement (rate, term, payment frequency, first payment date), agree the year-end balance to the lender confirmation, and use the split for the balance sheet presentation.
Current maturities of long-term debt are current liabilities (ASC 210-10-45-9). The ordinary split is not the whole classification question: debt that is callable at the balance sheet date because of a covenant violation is current under ASC 470-10-45-11 unless a qualifying waiver exists, and short-term debt refinanced after year end follows ASC 470-10-45-14. Pair this with the DSCR calculator when covenants are in play.
Common questions
How is a loan payment calculated?
For a level-payment loan, payment = P × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)^−n), where P is the principal, r is the annual rate divided by the payments per year and n is the number of payments. $100,000 at 6% for 60 monthly payments gives $1,933.28.
How do I find the current portion of long-term debt?
Add the principal portion of every payment contractually due within 12 months after the balance sheet date. The rest of the carrying principal is long-term. Current maturities of long-term debt are current liabilities under ASC 210-10-45-9.
When is all of a long-term loan classified as current?
When the debt is due on demand or callable at the balance sheet date, for example after a covenant breach, it is current under ASC 470-10-45-11 unless the lender has waived the right for more than one year (or the grace-period conditions are met).
Do extra payments change the current portion?
Voluntary prepayments are not obligations at the balance sheet date, so this calculator leaves them out of the current portion. Extra payments do shorten the schedule, cut total interest and move the payoff date earlier.
Why does my lender statement differ by a few cents?
Lenders may compute interest on actual days over 360 or 365 rather than a twelfth of the annual rate, and round differently. Agree the audit balance to the lender confirmation, then use the schedule to test the split and interest expense.
