How do I use a personal loan repayment calculator?
We get it - maths isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. That’s why we’ve created our handy personal loan calculator. You just tell us what you want out of your loan, such as how much you want to borrow, the type of loan you’d prefer, how long you’d like to pay it all back, and so on.
What’s the difference between a secured and an unsecured personal loan?
An unsecured loan is a loan that’s not secured against an asset. The lender simply lends you the money and you repay the personal unsecured loan in monthly instalments, plus interest, until the end of your loan term.
A secured loan is secured against an asset, like a car. This means that if you stop repaying your secured personal loan, the lender could repossess the asset to recover their costs. As this adds a bit of extra security for the lender, secured loans can come with lower interest rates than unsecured loans.
How much can I borrow with a personal loan?
As mentioned, Wisr offers unsecured personal loans from $5,000 to $64,000 and secured personal loans from $10,000 to $150,000.
That said, how much you’re eligible to borrow will also depend on other factors such as your income surplus and your credit score. This is because a responsible lender won’t lend you an amount that could put you in financial difficulty.
How do I choose a loan term?
Choosing a personal loan term really comes down to you and your money goals. The shorter the loan term, the less interest you’ll repay overall and the quicker you’ll be debt free. Sounds pretty great, right? Well, it also means that your monthly repayments will be higher as you won’t have as long to repay your loan.
Your other option is a longer loan term. The longer the loan term, the lower your monthly repayments will be. This can help make sure that you can more easily afford your loan repayments alongside your other financial commitments. It will, however, cost you more as you’ll have paid back more interest by the end of your loan term.
Where can I get a clearer idea of my credit history?
On Wisr App! Simply download our app on Android or download Wisr App on iOS, create an account, then head to the credit scores tab and follow the instructions.
You’ll be able to see your credit scores with both Equifax and Experian, two of the main credit referencing agencies here in Australia. You’ll also receive personalised insights into what you’re doing well and how you can improve your credit scores. And don’t worry, checking your credit scores won’t impact them in any way.
What’s a comparison rate?
A comparison rate takes into account any additional fees or charges associated with the borrowing option you’re looking at.
How do I know if a personal loan is right for me?
Whether a personal loan is right for you comes down to a few things:
Can you afford the repayments?
This one’s pretty much a no-brainer, isn’t it. Can’t afford the repayments? Then a personal loan isn’t the best option for you right now. That said, there are ways that could make the repayments affordable for you. For instance, you could look to see if you can borrow a smaller amount, improve your credit score to get a better interest rate, or see if you can spread the cost out over a longer repayment term to lower the repayments. You could also consider a joint personal loan with someone you trust to improve your eligibility.
