How It Works

Personal loans are usually unsecured fixed-rate installment loans. Because there is no collateral, rates depend heavily on credit score and income.

Formula Used

M = P · r(1+r)ⁿ / ((1+r)ⁿ − 1), with r = annual rate ÷ 12 and n = months.

Example Calculation

A $10,000 personal loan at 11% for 36 months costs about $327 per month and roughly $1,786 in interest.

Practical Use Cases

  • Compare a personal loan against credit card rates for consolidation.
  • Budget a home project or major purchase.
  • Check the cost of different terms before applying.
