What is a Personal Loan Interest Rate?
Personal Loan Interest Rate & Charges
The interest rate is only one part of your borrowing cost. Reviewing the applicable charges can give you a clearer picture of your overall repayment. The exact interest rate offered to you depends on your profile and the loan terms. All rates and charges are subject to change at the discretion of Godrej Capital, so refer to your sanction letter for the figures that apply to your loan.
| Component | Applicable rate or charge |
| Interest rate range | 10.25% to 18% per annum |
| Processing fee | Up to 4% of the loan amount |
| Foreclosure charges | Minimum charge Upto 4% |
How to Calculate Personal Loan Interest
Personal Loan interest is calculated using the standard EMI formula, which considers the loan amount, interest rate and repayment tenure. Your EMI is worked out using a standard formula:
EMI = [P × R × (1+R)^N] / [(1+R)^N − 1]
Here, P is the principal, R is the monthly interest rate and N is the tenure in months.
Interest can be charged in two ways and the difference is large. Under the reducing-balance method, interest applies only to the outstanding principal, which decreases with each EMI. Under the flat method, interest is charged on the principal for the entire tenure. Personal Loans use a reducing-balance method, which is less expensive.
Factors Affecting Personal Loan Interest Rates
When considering a personal loan, various factors can influence the interest rate you are offered.
- Credit score: A healthy CIBIL score of 700 or above can strengthen your eligibility for better loan terms.
- Income and repayment capacity: A stable and sufficient income helps demonstrate your ability to repay the loan.
- Employment and job stability: Consistent employment and a strong work history can support your application.
- Existing obligations (FOIR): Lower ongoing EMIs relative to your income can improve your borrowing capacity.
- Loan amount and tenure: The requested loan amount and repayment period are considered in the application assessment.
- Relationship with the lender: An existing relationship and positive repayment track record may be considered.
These factors help determine the interest rate and terms applicable to your personal loan.
