Comparing loan options

Make sure you understand the total cost of a loan before making a decision. Multiply the payment amount by the number of payments in your term.
 
For example, suppose you want to get a personal loan for $2,000. The interest rate is 19.99% on a monthly payment plan. The example below shows the total cost of a loan with different terms.

Interest rates

The interest rate on a personal loan impacts the overall cost of the loan. By law, lenders may not charge more than 60% interest annually. This includes all fees, costs and interest that you’ll pay to get the loan.
 
Suppose you want to get a personal loan of $2,000 for 36 months. The example below shows the total cost of the loan with different interest rates.
