Use this free personal loan calculator online to estimate your monthly payment, total interest, origination fee, and total repayment amount. Enter your loan amount, annual percentage rate (APR), fee, and repayment term to see how much you may pay over time and how much money you could receive after the origination fee.
Calculate Your Monthly Personal Loan Payment
Your monthly personal loan payment depends on how much you borrow, the APR, and the repayment term. A larger loan or higher interest rate generally increases your payment, while a longer term usually lowers it but may increase total interest. Adjust the calculator inputs to compare different borrowing scenarios before applying.
Understand Personal Loan Interest Costs
Interest is the cost of borrowing money. The calculator estimates total interest over the selected term using a fixed APR and equal monthly payments.
Comparing loan offers by APR can help you evaluate borrowing costs, although the rate you qualify for depends on factors such as your credit profile, income, and lender criteria.
Include Origination Fees in Your Loan Estimate
Some lenders charge an origination fee for processing a personal loan. This calculator estimates the fee as a percentage of the loan amount and subtracts it from the amount you receive.
For example, if a fee is deducted from your loan proceeds, you may receive less money than the amount you must repay. Check the lender’s terms to confirm how the fee is collected.
Compare Repayment Terms Before Borrowing
The calculator lets you compare repayment periods of 2, 3, 5, and 7 years using the quick-term buttons, or enter a different term in the input field. A shorter term generally means higher monthly payments but less interest overall. A longer term may make payments more manageable while increasing the total borrowing cost.
Review the Total Cost Before Applying
Before accepting a personal loan, compare the APR, monthly payment, origination fee, repayment term, and total amount payable. Check whether the lender includes other fees or early repayment charges. This calculator provides an estimate based on your inputs; your actual offer and repayment schedule may differ.
