Why should I use a personal loan calculator?

A personal loan calculator helps you understand how much you can borrow and what your repayments will look like over time.

Here’s how a personal loan calculator can help you in different situations:

  • When you're buying a car. If you’re buying a new or used car, you can use a personal loan calculator to see if you should get a secured or unsecured loan (based on the interest rate), and how long you can take the loan out for.
  • If you're looking to renovate. Using a personal loan calculator before taking out a loan for home renovations can help keep your expenses in check by telling you just how much you’ll have to repay over time. This can help you choose between making affordable and not-so-affordable renovations.
  • If you have debt and want to consolidate. Making multiple repayments each month can be a bother, and you might even be paying excessive interest on some of your credit cards or personal loans. By getting a personal loan to consolidate existing debts, you can save in the form of interest, and a personal loan repayment calculator can tell you by just how much.
  • If you need a cash injection for your business. Certain lenders offer loans for businesses, and there are business loan calculators that can help you compare features in such instances as well. Typical business loans, for instance, offer lower interest rates when compared to personal loans for individuals.
  • When you just need a bit extra to see you through. Do you need money to get by existing cash flow problems and aren’t sure which type of personal loan to take up? By using a personal loan calculator, you can compare different types of options, like secured loans, unsecured loans and payday loans. You can then make a decision that best suits your needs.

    Which banks accept scholarship stipend as an income eligible for personal loans?
    Thank you

      Hi Ehsan,

      Thanks for your question.

      I’m unaware of any banks that specifically accept scholarship stipends as a form of income as it is really only intended to help fund your studies and immediate living expenses. When considering you for a loan, banks look at your financial situation (including how much you earn) and your ability to repay. You might want to take a look at student personal loans to know what types of personal loans you can consider. You can also speak to a few of the major banks and also your current bank about possibilities for a loan. Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      I hope this will help.

      Thanks,
      Elizabeth

      Hi Katrina,

      Thanks for your question.

      Our guide to debt consolidation can help provide more information about your options. If you currently have bad credit, you may also want to have a look at our bad credit loans and compare lenders that may assist you.

      Before applying, please ensure that you meet all the eligibility criteria and read through the details of the needed requirements as well as the relevant Product Disclosure Statements/Terms and Conditions when comparing your options before making a decision on whether it is right for you.

      Cheers,

    Hi, I need $6000 loan for a period of a two years. For how long I have to be employed to be eligible for this loan? There is a matter of what kind of employment is? Permanent, part time or casual?
    Thank you!

      Hi Elena,

      Thanks for your question.

      In most cases, full-time employment is favourable when applying for a personal loan. You can compare a range of personal loans. If you would like to apply or find out more information about one of the products we display, please click on ‘go to site’ to be taken to the lender’s website.

    we are looking at taking out a personal loan of $25 000 – can this be paid back monthly over two years and does the interest rate fluctuate during those two years and last question – can we draw down from the $25k during the 2 years or do we pay interest on the full $25k when the loan gets approved. Many thanks

      Hi Greg,

      Thanks for your question.

      In most cases you can organise for your personal loan to have a loan term of two years with monthly repayments. The interest rate can fluctuate if you opt for a variable loan.

      You can choose to draw down the amount or have the lump sum paid to you directly. Most lenders tend to offer the lump sum option.

      Cheers,
      Shirley

      Hi Shiz,

      Thanks for your question.

      This depends on the bank/lender you apply for the personal loan with. You should check if there are any restrictions placed on the loan that would stop you from doing this – it may be worth calling the lender providing the loan you’re looking at and confirm with them directly.

      I hope this has helped.

      Thanks,

      Elizabeth
