Loan Yield Calculator

Lender all-in yield includes the coupon plus origination and exit fees amortized over the expected hold. It's the real return to a bridge or CMBS lender and the number worth comparing across loan offers — not the headline rate.

How the math works

Lender all-in yield = (interest + fees) ÷ net capital invested ÷ years. It's the IRR-adjacent measure lenders use internally — it captures origination fees, exit fees, and interest rate together, and is how bridge and CMBS lenders compare opportunities.

On short-hold bridge loans, fees can add 100-200 bps to yield. That's why 7.5% coupons turn into 9.0-9.5% all-in yields on 2-3 year bridges with 1-2% origination.

How to Use

  1. Enter loan amount, interest rate, and amortization.
  2. Enter origination fees (points) and exit / prepayment fees.
  3. Enter expected hold period (usually 3 years for bridge).
  4. Read all-in yield, fees collected, and principal paid down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is fee yield 'time-sensitive'?

A 2% origination fee on a 10-year loan is 20 bps/year. The same fee on a 2-year loan is 100 bps/year — 5x the impact. Bridge loans live or die on how prepayment timing affects yield.

Exit fees vs prepayment penalties?

Exit fee = always paid at maturity. Prepayment penalty = only paid if borrower leaves early. A 0.5% exit fee is revenue; a prepayment penalty is optional based on borrower behavior.

Minimum yield targets?

Bank bridge: 8-10% all-in. Debt funds: 10-13%. Private mortgage REITs: 11-14%. Hard money: 14-18%. All-in yield — not coupon — is what gets quoted internally.
