Use the slow-day check

The last row compares your typical lowest balance with each pull. If your account dips below the weekly figure, a weekly schedule needs a buffer; if it dips below the daily one, either schedule is tight. See daily vs weekly payments.

In practice

A $62,500 payback over 25 weeks is $500 a day or $2,500 a week. An owner with a $1,200 slow-day balance sees it covers a daily pull but not a weekly one, and builds a buffer before choosing weekly.
