About personal loans

A personal loan is an unsecured, fixed-rate loan repaid in equal monthly instalments, typically over one to seven years. Because it's unsecured, the rate is usually higher than a mortgage. This calculator shows the monthly payment and total interest so you can compare lenders on equal terms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are personal loan rates higher?

Personal loans are unsecured — there's no collateral — so lenders charge more to offset the added risk compared with secured loans like mortgages.

Can I pay it off early?

Often yes, which saves interest, but some lenders charge a prepayment fee. Check your agreement before overpaying.

Is this calculator free and private?

Yes. It's completely free with no signup, and every calculation runs locally in your browser, so your numbers never leave your device.
