Personal Loan Tips and FAQs

From interest payment calculations to money management, here are some tips to help you borrow responsibly, so you can repay effectively: 

 

 

What is a personal loan? 

 

 

A personal loan is a fixed amount of money that you can borrow from a bank. This amount is repaid in monthly installments – your bank will notify you of the monthly repayment amount, your total borrowing amount and the interest rate.

 

How much am I paying in interest rate? 

 

 

It’s important to know what you’re paying. The formula for calculating the total interest payment is as follows:

 

Principal Loan Amount x Interest Rate x Repayment Period = Total Interest

 

Or, you can also use a personal loan calculator online to determine your affordability. 

 

What factors will impact my approval status or eligibility to get a personal loan?

 

 

Apart from the bank’s requirements, several other factors can impact your loan eligibility, such as:

 

Credit score

Banks usually use credit scores to assess your creditworthiness. Higher credit scores generally indicate a history of responsible credit management, making you more likely to be approved for a loan.

 

Credit History

While related to your credit score, your credit history provides a detailed account of your credit behaviour. Banks may use this to assess how you've managed credit in the past, including your payment history, types of credit used, and any outstanding debts.

 

Debt-to-Income Ratio (DSR)

Banks sometimes assess your DSR to see if you’re able to take on additional debt.

 

How to calculate DSR = Total monthly commitment / Total monthly income x 100%

 

A lower debt-to-income ratio (below 40% or 50%) indicates that you have more disposable income to meet new loan obligations, and thus more likely to get your loan application approved.

 

What should I consider before taking a personal loan?

 

 

Before applying for any types of loans, consider these to ensure that your finances are well-managed:

 

Plan ahead

Have a clear repayment plan before going into it. Familiarise yourself with the total interest rate, payment schedules, and more! This will give you the space to comfortably finance monthly repayments without compromising your financial standing.

 

Consider the Impact on your budget

Ensure you take loans that align with your financial situation.

 

Borrow only what you need

Avoid borrowing more than the necessary amount if you can. Just because you can afford it, doesn’t mean you should! A higher amount means a higher interest payment that you have to fork out every month.
