Frequently asked questions
How is a personal loan payment calculated?
The loan is amortized: each equal monthly payment covers the month's interest plus some principal until the balance is zero.
Does a longer term cost more?
Yes — a longer term lowers the monthly payment but increases total interest. Compare terms here to see the trade-off.
