How to Calculate a Payday Loan
There are two methods to calculate the total cost of your payday loan: manually or using our calculator.
We’ll show you how to calculate a payday loan manually first.
Method 1: Manual Calculation
If you’re interested in calculating a payday loan manually, you can use the loan amount, daily interest rate, and loan duration combined to determine the total cost.
Simply follow this formula:
Total loan amount x daily interest rate x loan duration = Total Interest
For example, if you borrow £500 at a daily interest rate of 0.507% and a loan duration of 3 months, your calculation would be: £500 x 0.00507 x 90 days = £227.86 in interest.
This means you will pay £227.86 in interest. Now that you know the total interest, you can simply add the loan amount and the interest together to find the total amount you will have to repay:
Total loan amount + Total Interest = Total Amount you have to repay.
The calculation would be: £500 + £227.86 = £727.86
So, the total amount you have to repay for a £500 payday loan with a daily interest rate of 0.507% and a 3-month loan duration is £727.86.
Now that you know the total amount you have to repay, you can determine how much you need to repay each month by dividing the total amount by the number of loan duration months:
Total amount you have to repay / Loan duration = Monthly Repayment Amount.
£727.86 / 3 months = £242.62
Therefore, you would need to repay approximately £242.62 each month for a 3-month payday loan of £500 with the specified interest rate.
Understanding these calculations helps you plan your budget effectively, ensuring you can manage your monthly repayments and stay on top of your financial commitments.
It’s essential to be well-informed before taking out a payday loan to make the best financial decisions for your situation.
Another way to calculate the total cost of a payday loan is by using the APR (Annual Percentage Rate). You can learn more about APR explained for payday loans to understand this method better.
Method 2: Use Our Calculator
Next, let’s explore how to use our payday loan calculator to calculate loan details
Our loan calculator, located at the beginning of our loan application form, empowers you to calculate your total monthly, weekly, or bi-weekly payments, depending on your preference. You can also clearly see the exact amount of total interest in pounds that will be charged and the total repayment amount, which includes the original borrowed sum and the interest rate. Additionally, you’ll have access to your repayment schedule, including due dates. With the flexibility to choose different loan amounts and durations, you can select terms that align with your preferences.
Here’s the best part: Our calculator doesn’t require any personal or financial information. It simply asks for the amount you want to borrow, the loan term’s duration, your pay frequency, and when you’d like to make your initial payment. This information sets up your repayment schedule. Moreover, we offer an easy start option, which allows you to adjust the repayment schedule so that your first payment is smaller than the subsequent ones, making it easier to manage in the first month.
