Step-by-step guide to using the personal loan calculator

Step 1 - Enter your credit rating

Credit is a crucial factor for lenders when determining if you are eligible for a loan. Having an excellent credit score often qualifies you for the best rates. The calculator presents various scenarios based on four credit score ratings. However, please note that these are only sample rates and don't reflect actual offers.

Step 2 - Enter your loan amount:

The personal loan calculator lets you look at loans between $1,000 and $50,000.

Step 3 - Enter your loan term:

Select how many payments you want to make each month. You can choose 12 months (1 year) or 72 months (6 years). Generally, longer payment periods mean lower payments, but the interest rate may be higher for longer loans.

Step 4: Review the Results:

Our calculator can help you find out how much you need to pay every month. It also shows the interest rate and the total cost of the loan. The interest rate is called APR, which stands for Annual Percentage Rate. This is the total cost of the loan for one year. It includes interest and any extra fees. A lower APR means the loan is cheaper, while a higher APR means it's more expensive. Comparing APRs when looking at different loans can help you find the most affordable option, like comparing prices when shopping. APR is a simple number that shows how much the loan will cost you each year.

Step 5 - Compare Different Options:

You can compare different loan options by using the personal loan calculator. Simply enter the details of each loan and review the results.

Why Use a Personal Loan Calculator?

A personal loan calculator helps you figure out your estimated monthly payments. A personal loan is helpful to consolidate debts, pay for medical bills, or make large purchase items.

Your actual interest rates depend on some factors, including your credit score, the amount of the loan, and, in some cases, your income and debt-to-income ratio. Once you know how much you want to borrow and get a ballpark estimate of monthly payments, check out the Bills.com personal rate table below for a real-time own personal loan quote.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are the results provided by the Personal Loan Calculator?

arrow-right

The accuracy of the results provided by the Personal Loan Calculator depends on the accuracy of the information entered by the user. For example, your credit score affects the interest rate that you receive. Keep in mind that the calculator is for informational purposes only and shouldn't be considered a real-time offer. Interest rates fluctuate and the calculator is intended to give you a ball-park estimate.

Can the calculator factor in additional fees or charges associated with the loan?

arrow-right

The calculator provides an approximate estimate based on a general interest rate that assumes no fees. The monthly payment is based on the interest rate without any additional fees. However, if there are upfront fees, the monthly payment will be lower if there are upfront fees. Additionally, the calculator does not consider any extra fees or charges associated with the loan, such as late payment fees or prepayment penalties. It is essential to carefully read and understand the terms and conditions of any loan offer before making a decision.

Can the calculator be used for all personal loans?

arrow-right

No, the calculator may not work for all personal loans. It only gives a rough estimate and may not consider certain loan features or needs, like secured or variable interest rates. Also, it may not accurately calculate loans with special terms. It's best to ask the lender about their specific loan terms.
