Personal Loan Repayments

Representative example total repayment amount: For a personal loan of $20,000 borrowed for 60 months with a minimum interest rate of 9.84% (comparison rate^ of 10.87%), the total amount you would need to repay would be $25,551. This is made up of a $20,000 principal amount, $5,402 interest amount, estimated upfront fees of $149 and total ongoing fees of $0. This example is hypothetical. The total loan repayment amount for any individual personal loan will vary depending on several factors (including making on time repayments). You should confirm with the lender the total amount repayable for your particular circumstances.

Personal loan tips from our experts

The ‘real’ cost is in the comparison rate

When comparing personal loans, don't just look at the interest rate. The comparison rate factors in interest costs and most fees, painting a picture of what you might actually pay each year.

Look for features, not just a low rate

The right loan should fit your life, not just your budget. Understand if you’d use features like fee-free extra repayments or a redraw facility–these could help you pay off debt faster and save on interest.

Protect your score while you shop

Every personal loan application can leave a 'hard' mark on your credit report. To protect your score, only apply for loans you’re confident you want and qualify for.

Guide to $15,000 personal loans

What are the repayments on a $15,000 personal loan? 

The exact cost of a $15,000 personal loan will vary depending on factors such as the:

  • Interest rate
  • Loan term
  • Repayment frequency (monthly, fortnightly or weekly)

You can use Canstar's personal loan calculator to estimate your repayment cost. Simply enter the amount you want to borrow (like $15,000) plus the loan’s other details. 

If you’re wondering if you can comfortably afford a $15,000 personal loan and how the repayments could fit into your budget, the calculator could give you an idea. You can also see exactly what effect a small change to your personal loan (e.g. term length, interest rate) can have on its cost, both in the short term and in total. 

What are the fees on a $15,000 loan?

While a personal loan calculator can help you find your interest charges, it may not include other fees a lender may charge on a personal loan. These can include standard fees, like upfront and ongoing fees, as well as nonstandard fees, such as late payment fees.

A personal loan’s comparison rate can help you get a better idea of its total cost. This figure combines the cost of interest and standard fees and charges into a single percentage rate. However, this is only an approximate figure, and does not include nonstandard fees or charges. It’s always worth looking closely at a personal loan’s terms and conditions before you apply, so you can be confident you can cover the cost of fees if necessary.  

How can I use a $15,000 personal loan? 

There are many different reasons why you may be in the market for a $15,000 personal loan, including but not limited to: 

Keep in mind that your personal loan’s purpose could affect your chances of approval, as some lenders may be more willing to lend money for certain purposes than others. Consider contacting your preferred lender before applying to confirm if your loan purpose is eligible. 

Am I eligible for a $15,000 personal loan?

When you apply for a personal loan, you’ll need to show the lender that you’re a responsible borrower who will repay the money borrowed, plus interest and fees, over the agreed term. 

To apply for a personal loan, you’ll usually need to:

  • Be aged over 18
  • Be an Australian citizen or permanent resident
  • Have a job
  • Have an acceptable credit score

Each lender’s personal loan eligibility criteria will be slightly different, and some lenders may have specialist personal loans available for borrowers that may not fit the typical criteria.

How to borrow $15,000

Here are some steps you could take when applying for a $15,000 loan: 

  1. Use a personal loan calculator to estimate the potential repayments, and look at your options
  2. Compare personal loan options from different lenders
  3. Contact your preferred lender and fill out an application form, in personal or online
  4. Provide the necessary details, such as proof of ID and proof of income

Some lenders may be able to offer personal loan preapproval within minutes of completing your application, subject to confirmation of your details. Once the lender has checked your information and completed a credit check, a successful application could see the funds arriving in your bank account in a matter of days, or sometimes even hours. 

If your application is declined, you can contact the lender to ask exactly why. Try not to apply for multiple loans or apply for another loan straight away, as this could risk damaging your credit score.
