Questions these calculators answer

What affects my personal loan interest rate?
Lenders may look at your credit score, income, expenses and savings when they set your rate, so the rate you're offered can differ from the advertised one. Whether the loan is secured or unsecured, and fixed or variable, also matters. Open the Personal Loan Calculator
What is a comparison rate?
The comparison rate includes both the interest rate and most fees associated with the loan, expressed as a single percentage. It gives you a more accurate picture of the true cost. In Australia, lenders must display comparison rates alongside advertised rates. Open the Loan Comparison Calculator
Is it worth paying off my personal loan early?
Usually, if the loan has no early repayment fee or a small one: every dollar paid early saves interest at the loan's rate. Keep an emergency buffer first, and pay off higher-rate debts such as credit cards before a personal loan. Open the Early Payout Calculator
When is debt consolidation a good idea?
Consolidation makes sense when: 1) The new loan rate is lower than your current average rate, 2) You're struggling to manage multiple payments, 3) You commit to not taking on new debt. It's not a good idea if you'll just run up credit cards again. Open the Debt Consolidation Calculator
