Loan Calculator

Post Office offer an online loan calculator which provides terms on loans up to £25,000 from 1 to 7 years.

The calculator will then generate an estimate of the total you would be required to repay and a breakdown of what that would work out as per monthly instalment.

However you should remember that if you decide to apply for the loan and you are accepted the lender, once they have assessed your credit history and other financial information, may decide to other you a different APR than their representative APR.

This means that the amount you would be expected to repay would be different, as would the size of your installments be.

Before you apply for a loan

When looking for a loan consider what features are important to you,  you may also want to Consider alternatives to borrowing before you apply, for example if you have any savings it might be beneficial to use these instead;  as it may be that the interest you pay on a loan will be higher than any interest you earn in your savings.

There are other types of borrowing than loans such as authorised overdrafts and credit cards you might wish to consider.

Also if you are thinking of taking out a loan to consolidate debt understand that spreading your payments over a longer term could mean you  ultimately pay more overall than you would with your existing arrangements, even if the interest rate on the new loan is less than the rates you have at the moment.

With any loan application a lender will look at your personal credit score. You can find out what your credit score is by accessing your credit report. For more information on this read more about how you can improve your credit score

If you have a fair or poor credit score Post Office will not offer you a loan. Please try one of our other partners if you have less than perfect credit. Fluent Loans will shop around the market for you or alternatively if you are a homeowner try Shawbrook Bank
