Using the calculator to compare loan offers

The best way to compare personal loan interest rates is to shop around. Use comparison sites, speak to a broker or visit the websites of lenders you’re considering and check for yourself.

Generally, you can borrow up to $50,000 with an unsecured personal loan, and up to $100,000 with a secured personal loan. Most banks will not approve an unsecured loan of less than $3,000, and minimum and maximum loan amounts will vary between lenders.

Generally secured personal loans have lower interest rates than unsecured personal loans. That’s because lenders consider them to be lower risk. To pay less interest on your personal loan, pay the loan off faster, make extra repayments and make sure you secure a loan with low fees.

How the calculators determine interest and repayments

Our personal loan calculators use amortisation calculations to estimate interest and repayment amounts on a loan. Amortisation calculates payments between interest and the outstanding principal amount to keep payments consistent over time.

When you make your first repayment on your loan, a greater portion of the repayment amount will go toward repaying the interest, while your last payment will consist almost entirely of principal repayments.

When you calculate loan repayments using this method, it allows you to see what your regular repayments will be, and also allows you to estimate your savings should you choose to repay a portion of the loan early.
