Unsecured borrowing

Personal Loan Calculator

Estimate the monthly payment, total repayment and combined interest-plus-fee cost for a personal loan. This page is useful when the monthly figure alone does not tell the whole story.

Formula: Standard amortizing payment, with any origination fee added separately so the real borrowing cost stays visible.

What to compare

Compare payment, total cost and fee together. A loan that saves 12 a month can still be worse overall if the fee is large or the term stretches much longer.

When this matters most

This is especially useful for debt consolidation, home improvement borrowing and any offer where lenders advertise a simple monthly number without much context.

Personal loan calculator FAQ

Why include an origination fee?

Many personal loans include upfront fees that affect the real cost of borrowing even if the monthly payment looks manageable.

Is this the same as APR disclosure?

No. This page estimates repayment cost using the rate and fee you enter, but lenders may disclose APR using specific regulatory methods.
