SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION 

Interest Rates 

The Small Business Administration 

publishes an interest rate called the 

optional ‘‘peg’’ rate (13 CFR 120.214) on 

a quarterly basis. This rate is a weighted 

average cost of money to the 

government for maturities similar to the 

average SBA direct loan. This rate may 

be used as a base rate for guaranteed 

fluctuating interest rate SBA loans. This 

rate will be 2.75 percent for the July– 

September quarter of FY 2022. 

Pursuant to 13 CFR 120.921(b), the 

maximum legal interest rate for any 

third party lender’s commercial loan 

which funds any portion of the cost of 

a 504 project (see 13 CFR 120.801) shall 

be 6% over the New York Prime rate or, 

if that exceeds the maximum interest 

rate permitted by the constitution or 

laws of a given State, the maximum 

interest rate will be the rate permitted 

by the constitution or laws of the given 

State.
