Loan calculator

Get an idea of what you could borrow and what you might pay on a personal loan over 1 to 5 years. Other loan terms are available. You can also apply for a personalised quote.

What is the loan calculator?

Our loan calculator can give you an idea of how much you might pay for the amount you want to borrow. We’ll still need to check your individual circumstances to give you an accurate quote.

For each loan term, or the number of years you want to borrow the money for, we’ll give you a Representative APR. APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It can be used to compare the total cost of your borrowing with other providers and other borrowing products. The Representative APR is what we give to at least 51% of successful applicants.

To find out what you would pay based on your individual circumstances, please get a personalised quote. This won’t affect your credit rating. And there’s no obligation to take out the loan.

How many quotes should you get?

We recommend getting a few personalised quotes from us.

We may be able to offer you a better rate if you change the amount you want to borrow or the length of time you borrow for. Even a small change can make a big difference to how much interest you'll have to pay and the overall cost of the loan.

Getting a quote will not affect your credit rating. Your credit rating will only be impacted if you decide to continue with your quote and take out a loan.
