Your monthly personal loan payments are displayed on a personal loan calculator according to the loan amount, interest rate, and payback period. Additionally, it displays the total interest expense, origination charge included or not.

To determine if a personal loan is the best financing choice for your goals, use this calculator.

How to utilize this loan calculator
Put the loan amount here. The range of personal loan amounts is $1,000 to $100,000. Strong income and credit histories increase a borrower's likelihood of being approved for larger loans.

Put your interest rate here. Your credit history and financial data are the main factors that determine your interest rate on a personal loan. The lowest rates are typically obtained by good-credit customers with low debt-to-income ratios.

Select a period for payback. Repayment periods for personal loans normally range from two to seven years. Long-term loans have larger monthly payments, whereas shorter-term loans have lower interest expenses. Choose a repayment plan that strikes a balance between low interest rates and manageable payments.

Set a start date for the payback. Your first payment is due on this date. Thirty days following the loan's funding, many lenders demand the first payment.

Add an optional origination fee. An origination fee, which typically ranges from 1% to 10% of the loan amount, is the portion of the loan that goes to the lender. An origination fee is not a requirement for all lenders. When you receive a loan offer, you usually find out whether you'll pay one and how much it is.
