Important Information
This calculator provides illustrative figures only and does not guarantee approval or these specific terms.
All secured loans are subject to a full affordability assessment based on your income and outgoings, income verification, and credit checks. Lenders will assess whether you can afford the repayments.
The loan term cannot usually extend beyond your stated retirement age. Some lenders allow terms up to 30–35 years and lending up to age 75–80 at the end of the term where sustainable retirement income can be demonstrated.
Our Broker Fee:
- • £2,495 for loans above £25,000
- • Maximum 10% of the net loan amount for loans below £25,000 (minimum loan £5,000)
This fee is payable on completion only and will be fully disclosed before you proceed.
Your actual loan amount, interest rate, and term will depend on the lender's criteria and will be confirmed after a full application.
Your home may be repossessed if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or any other debt secured on it.

Understanding your results
Monthly payment
The fixed amount you pay each month. This covers both interest and a portion of the principal, so the loan is fully repaid by the end of the term.
Total repayable
The total amount you will pay over the full loan term — your original loan amount plus all interest charges.
Total interest
The total cost of borrowing — the difference between what you borrow and what you repay. A shorter term or lower rate reduces this significantly.
Interest rate
The annual percentage rate charged by the lender. Secured loan rates are typically lower than unsecured loans because your property acts as security.
Loan term
How long you have to repay the loan. Longer terms mean lower monthly payments but more total interest paid over the life of the loan.
Loan-to-value (LTV)
The ratio of your total borrowing to your property value. Lower LTV generally means access to better interest rates from lenders.
What affects your rate?
The interest rate you are offered depends on several factors. Understanding these can help you get the best possible deal on your secured loan.

Common questions
How is a secured loan monthly payment calculated?
Secured loan repayments use standard amortisation. Each monthly payment covers both interest and a portion of the principal. The formula ensures the loan is fully repaid by the end of the term. Early in the loan, more of your payment goes towards interest; later, more goes towards principal.
What interest rate will I get on a secured loan?
Rates typically range from 5% to 15% depending on your credit profile, LTV, and lender. Clean credit with low LTV can expect 6–8%. Minor credit issues may see 8–12%. Adverse credit applicants may pay 10–15%. Use the rate slider above to see how different rates affect your payments.
How much can I borrow with a secured loan?
Most UK lenders offer £5,000 to £500,000. The maximum depends on your property value, existing mortgage, income, and credit history. Lenders typically cap combined LTV at 80–85% of your property value.
Does using this calculator affect my credit score?
No. This is a free estimation tool — no credit check is performed. A credit search only happens if you formally apply with a lender through our comparison tool.
What is LTV and why does it matter?
Loan-to-value (LTV) is the percentage of your property covered by all loans (mortgage + secured loan). Lower LTV = less risk for the lender = better rates. Best rates are typically available below 60–70% LTV.
Can I pay off a secured loan early?
Most secured loans allow early repayment, but early repayment charges (ERCs) may apply during any fixed-rate period. Variable rate products typically have no ERCs. Check the specific terms of any product before committing.
