How to Use the Loan Calculator
Our loan calculator helps you estimate what your monthly payments might be before you apply. Here's how to get the most accurate estimate:
1. Select Your Loan Amount
Choose how much you want to borrow, from $500 to $5,000. Consider borrowing only what you need to keep payments manageable.
2. Choose Your Term Length
Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest. Longer terms have lower payments but cost more over time.
3. Estimate Your APR
APR depends on your credit score and other factors. If you have good credit, try a lower rate. If your credit needs work, estimate higher.
4. Review Your Results
The calculator shows your estimated monthly payment, total amount paid, and total interest. Use this to plan your budget.

Understanding Your Loan Costs
Principal
The principal is the original amount you borrow. This is the base amount that interest is calculated on throughout the life of your loan.
Interest
Interest is the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage. The APR includes interest plus any fees, showing the true annual cost.
Term Length
The loan term is how long you have to repay. Longer terms mean smaller payments but more total interest paid over time.
