## A typical loan payment in Quincy

The median Quincy loan was $117,000 with a median term of 10 years.

The median variable-rate loan in Quincy was priced at Prime plus 2.75 percentage points at approval. At today's Prime that spread works out to 9.75%. On $117,000 over 10 years, principal and interest would come to about $1,530 a month. That is arithmetic on past loans, not a rate a lender is offering.

**Payment at today's rate on three Quincy loan sizes over 10 years**

| Loan | Amount | Monthly payment |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 25th percentile loan | $60,000 | $785 |
| Median loan | $117,000 | $1,530 |
| 75th percentile loan | $300,000 | $3,923 |

Principal and interest only. Fees, a different term or a fixed rate change the payment. This is an illustration from SBA's file, not an offer.

SBA's rate ceiling for this loan size

How to read this

Counts come from SBA's 7(a) loan-level data release, as of June 30, 2026. The file lists loans SBA approved. It does not list declined applications, so it cannot show approval odds. We do not publish any figure built on fewer than 5 loans. Location is the borrower's address in the file, and city names are as SBA recorded them. Recent means FY2024 through June 30, 2026. Charge-off rates use FY2020 to FY2022 loans, the only years old enough to have had time to go bad. Jobs supported are lender-reported estimates.
