How do personal loan calculators work?
They work by taking into account three main factors:
- The loan amount: This can be between €1,000 & €75,000
- The length of the loan: This can be between 1 & 10 years
- The interest rate: This will vary depending on the rate set by the lender
Individual lenders will apply a complex calculation using compound interest to determine precisely how much your loan will cost based on their interest rate.
The interest rate you’re offered may differ from the APR (Annual Percentage Rate) because your credit history and income affect a lender’s decision. This could make your monthly repayment costs higher.
How much can you borrow?
You can apply for the amount you need, but the lender will ultimately decide how much they will lend you based on affordability and your financial profile.
If you can show evidence that you’re able to make regular repayments and have a good credit history, then it’s likely the credit you request will be granted. When using the calculator:
- If you’re unsure how much to borrow, start with an amount you can afford to repay each month.
- Make sure to try different loan amounts and repayment terms.
- Take note of how much your loan will cost in total, and what you’ll have to repay every month.

What is the annual percentage rate (APR)?
APR is short for Annual Percentage Rate. It’s a calculation of the overall cost of your loan and considers all the costs during the term of the loan, including set up charges and the interest rate. It enables borrowers to compare loans between lenders fairly.
What is compound interest?
For loans or credit, compound interest is the interest added to the sum borrowed plus accumulated interest. Not only are you repaying interest on your starting loan, but you’re also repaying interest on the interest.
For this reason, it’s advisable to repay your loan as soon as you can.
