Understanding Personal Loan Metrics

What lenders look for in personal loan applications

💰 Loan-to-Income Ratio

Formula: Loan Amount ÷ Annual Income

Example: $30K loan ÷ $75K income = 0.4x (40%)

Lender limits:

<0.5x (50%): Excellent - easy approval
0.5-1x (50-100%): Good - most lenders accept
1-2x (100-200%): Moderate - requires good credit
>2x (200%+): Exceeds most lender limits

Our algorithm: Automatically checks if your loan amount is within lender limits. Many lenders cap personal loans at 1-2x your annual income.

📊 DTI (Debt-to-Income Ratio)

Formula: (All Monthly Debts + New Loan) ÷ Monthly Income × 100

Example: $2,500 total ÷ $6,250 income = 40% DTI

Why it matters:

<30% DTI: Excellent - rate discounts available
30-40% DTI: Good - standard rates
40-50% DTI: Moderate - rate premiums +0.50%
>50% DTI: High risk - limited lenders

Important for debt consolidation: Your DTI AFTER consolidation is what matters. Even if current DTI is high, consolidation can improve it.

💳 Credit Score Impact on Rates

Personal loans are heavily credit-dependent!

Rate adjustments by credit score:

800+ (Excellent): 6.99% - 9.99%
700-799 (Very Good): 8.99% - 12.99%
600-699 (Good): 11.99% - 16.99%
500-599 (Fair): 15.99% - 22.99%
<500 (Poor): 20%+ or declined

Our algorithm: Shows you the personalized rate you're likely to get based on YOUR credit score, not misleading advertised rates.
