See how borrowing more or less changes your repayments. A $5,000 difference in loan amount can shift your monthly repayment by $80-120 depending on the rate and term.
Even a 1% difference in interest rate has a meaningful impact. On a $15,000 loan over 5 years, the difference between 8% and 10% is about $800 in total interest.
A shorter term means higher repayments but less total interest paid. A longer term lowers your repayments but increases the overall cost. Try 3 years vs 5 years to see the trade-off.
Switching from monthly to fortnightly or weekly repayments can save you interest because the balance reduces faster. The comparison table shows all three side by side so you can see the difference.
Lenders assess your ability to service the loan based on your income, existing debts, and living expenses. They want to see that repayments are affordable for you.
Your credit score and repayment history influence the rate you are offered. A stronger credit history generally means access to more competitive rates.
Most personal loans are multi-purpose, but lenders may ask what the funds are for. Some purposes (e.g. debt consolidation, home improvements) may qualify for better rates than others.
Lenders prefer applicants with stable employment. Most look for at least 3-6 months in your current role, though some lenders are flexible for contractors and self-employed borrowers.
