Hi. I'm paying back a personal loan and I'm thinking of making overpayments to shorten the term. Does anyone know of an online loan overpayment calculator I can use, or the maths I would need to use to work it out myself? All the online tools I can find are for mortgages. Thanks :)

    matm,

    Are you sure your loan company allow you to make overpayments like this?

    You may need to set yourself up a spreadsheet to do this - don't know of anything online.

    private message me with your e-mail and I can send something across.

    Dig out your loan paperwork and see what the early repayment penalty is to.

    R.
    Smile :), it makes people wonder what you have been up to.

    As Rafter says though, are you sure you can make overpayments and not just pay it off?

    Thanks for the replies. When I took out the loan (with Tesco) I'm sure I asked if I can overpay and I think they said yes, but I'll check. I think the early repayment penalty is 2 months interest, but I'll have to ask them what that is before I continue.
