What is a Personal Loan?

A personal loan is a type of installment debt that allows you to borrow a fixed amount of money and pay it back with interest over a set period.

The Cost of Borrowing

While loans provide immediate access to capital, the interest rate determines the true cost. Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest.

EMI Calculation Formula

E = P × r × (1 + r)^n / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

E is the Equated Monthly Installment, P is the principal loan amount, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the loan duration in months.

Loan Scenarios

Standard Personal Loan

Borrowing $10,000 at a 10% annual interest rate for 36 months results in a monthly payment of about $322.67.

Longer Term Impact

Extending the same $10,000 loan to 60 months lowers the monthly payment to $212.47, but significantly increases the total interest paid over the life of the loan.
