What does it come to at other amounts and terms?

Each row re-computes the loan at the lowest and highest published APR, with the lowest and highest published fee.

Computed from the published APR range and fee range. Best case is the lowest APR with the lowest fee; worst case the highest of each. “You sign for” is the loan amount needed for $10,000 to reach your account after the highest published fee is deducted; interest on the fee is inside the APR. checked 2026-08-25

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.

Is there an origination fee?

OneMain Financial publishes an origination fee of 1% to 10%. At the top of that range, to have $10,000 actually arrive you would need to borrow $11,111, and interest runs on the whole of it. checked 2026-08-25

The APR published by the lender already includes the origination fee, which is why the payment here is worked out on the amount you receive at the published APR, not on the larger amount you sign for at a lower interest rate. Both routes give the same payment; the lender's own example, where it publishes one, is the check.

What does the rate disclosure say?

Fixed rates ranging from 11.99% – 35.99% APR. OneMain loans include origination fees ranging from 1% to 10% of your loan amount subject to certain state limits.

Where this leaves you

If your credit is not at the top, the number to budget is $457.98 a month, not $332.10. The advertised figure is the floor of a range $4,532 wide on this loan.
If you need the full $10,000 in your account, borrow $11,111 at the highest fee, or $10,101 at the lowest — $1,111 is taken before the money arrives at the top of the range, and it is already inside the APR.
If the best-case total is what matters, Achieve works out at $10,993 on the same basis — compare the two.
Do not decide yet if you are choosing the term to get the payment down: the same $10,000 over 60 months is $222.39 a month instead of $332.10, but $13,344 in total instead of $11,955 — the term is the number you control.

Who this page is not for

This is not a review and it is not an offer. We have not borrowed from OneMain Financial, we hold no opinion on its service, and nothing here is a recommendation or advice. It answers one question: what the published range turns into as a monthly payment and a total, before you apply.
