Personal Loan Calculator

Personal loans carry no collateral, so lenders take higher credit risk. Rates typically range from 10–24% depending on your credit score, income, employer profile, and lender policies. A strong credit profile (CIBIL 750+) usually gets lower rates.

A shorter tenure increases the monthly EMI but reduces total interest significantly because principal is repaid faster. A longer tenure lowers the EMI but results in paying much more interest over the loan life.

Processing fees (typically 1–3% of loan amount) and documentation charges are one-time costs deducted upfront or added to the total loan cost. They can meaningfully increase the effective cost of borrowing, especially for short-tenure loans.

Yes, most lenders allow foreclosure after a lock-in period (usually 6–12 months). Foreclosure charges typically range from 2–5% of the outstanding balance. Foreclosing saves future interest but you must weigh savings against the penalty.

Debt-to-income (DTI) ratio is the percentage of your monthly gross income that goes toward debt repayments. Most lenders prefer a DTI below 40–50%. A high DTI signals financial stress and can reduce approval chances or result in higher rates.

Loan protection insurance covers your EMI obligations in case of job loss, disability, or death. While it provides security, the premium adds to your total borrowing cost. Buying it separately may be cheaper than the bundled product offered by lenders.

Most lenders allow partial prepayment after a lock-in period, usually at a charge of 2–5% of the prepaid amount. Prepaying reduces principal faster, cutting total interest significantly even on short-tenure loans.
