How that is worked out

amount received = the amount you want in your account (10,000 on most pages) amount signed for = amount received / (1 - origination fee %) monthly rate = APR / 12 (United States) or (1 + APR)^(1/12) - 1 (United Kingdom) monthly payment = amount received x monthly rate / (1 - (1 + monthly rate)^(-months)) total repayable = monthly payment x months cost of credit = total repayable - amount received cost per 1,000 = cost of credit / (amount received / 1,000)

Nothing else is added. The APR already includes the origination fee by law in both markets, so the payment is worked out on the amount you actually receive, at the APR, over the term — which is exactly how the lender's own representative example is built. The fee shows up as the larger amount you sign for, and the interest on it is inside the APR. Late fees, optional insurance and early-settlement charges are not in any figure on this site, because they depend on what happens after you sign. Best case uses the lowest published APR and the lowest published fee; worst case the highest of each. The full method is at Method.

When to stay where you are

Conditions under which the table above should not move you.

A lower floor is not a lower offer. The floor goes to the best credit profiles; the rate you are offered can sit anywhere in the range.
Watch the width of the range. Achieve ($5,495 wide), SoFi ($5,271 wide), Best Egg ($5,373 wide) can cost far more at the top than the floor suggests.
7 of these charge an origination fee, already inside the APR and shown as the larger amount you sign for on each lender's page.
Do not decide yet if you are borrowing a different amount: put your amount and term in rather than reading the $10,000 column, because minimum and maximum loan sizes drop lenders out.

Who this is not for

This is a ranking of published ranges, not a shortlist of better lenders. We have not borrowed from any of them. If your reason for choosing is speed, service or approval odds, the order on this page tells you nothing about that.
