Factors affecting interest rates on personal loan

Getting the best deal on a personal loan isn't just about choosing the right lender — it's also about how strong your financial profile is. Many key factors impact the interest rate you're offered, and even a small difference in rate can impact your total repayment significantly.

Let’s break down the main things lenders look at when deciding your personal loan interest rate:

  • CIBIL Score: Think of your CIBIL score as your financial report card. The higher your score, the more trustworthy you appear to lenders. A good score means lower risk for them — and a lower interest rate for you.

Here’s how your score affects loan approval:

Credit rating

CIBIL Score

Personal loan approval chances

Excellent

800+ to 900

Best chance for approval with lowest interest rates

Good

Above 750

Likely approval with competitive rates

Average

From 685 to 750

Possible approval, but rates may be higher

Poor

Below 685

Loan may get rejected or come with high interest


Pro tip:
Check your credit score regularly and pay EMIs on time to boost your score before applying.

  • Occupation: Whether you're salaried or self-employed can influence the interest rate you're offered. Salaried professionals, especially those working with reputed companies, may get better rates due to income stability.
  • Monthly income: A higher monthly income improves your repayment capacity — which makes lenders more confident about lending to you at a lower rate.

Why it matters: A stable and sufficient income helps lower the lender’s risk, and that often translates into better interest offers.

  • Debt-to-income ratio: This ratio shows how much of your income is already going into existing EMIs or loans.

Lower ratio = better chances at a low-interest personal loan

If your debts are eating up most of your income, lenders may offer you higher rates to offset the risk.

  • Age of the borrower: Younger applicants — especially those in their 20s and 30s — may get more competitive interest rates because they have more working years ahead, offering longer repayment potential.
  • Your employer: Working for a well-known company or a government institution often works in your favor. It signals income stability, which lenders like.
  • Your existing relationship with the lender: If you already have an account or past loan history with a lender and a good repayment track record, you might get preferential interest rates.

What is the personal loan interest rate?

In simple terms, it’s the cost you pay for borrowing money — shown as a percentage of your loan amount.

Lenders decide your personal loan interest rate based on:

  • Your credit score
  • Income and employment details
  • Current market conditions

There are two types of personal loan interest rates:

  • Fixed interest rate: This stays the same throughout your loan term. Great if you want predictable EMIs.
  • Floating/variable interest rate: This can change based on market conditions. Your EMI may go up or down over time.

Why it matters: A difference of just 1–2% in interest rate can save you thousands over your loan tenure. Always compare offers before applying.

Comparing rates from different lenders is crucial to finding the most favourable terms for a personal loan, minimising overall borrowing costs.

You can calculate the interest on personal loan with our interest calculator.

How is personal loan interest calculated?

Let’s understand with a quick example:

Priya takes a personal loan of ₹1,00,000 at 15% interest per year for 12 months.
She pays:

  • Total interest: ₹8,310
  • Monthly EMI: Around ₹9,026

You don’t need to calculate manually — just use a free personal loan EMI calculator. It helps you adjust the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure to find the most comfortable EMI for your budget.

EMI formula used for a personal loan is given by:

EMI = [PxRX(1+R)^N]/[(1+R)^N-1]​

Where:

  • P = Loan amount
  • R = Monthly interest rate
  • N = Number of monthly instalments

What is the best personal loan interest rate in India I can get?

It is recommended to compare the rates offered by different lenders to find the best personal loan interest rate in India. When applying for a personal loan, keep in mind that interest rates are not the only factor to consider. Other aspects, such as processing fees, prepayment charges, loan tenure, and repayment flexibility, should also be considered to ensure that you choose a loan that best suits your needs and financial capabilities. With Bajaj Finance Limited, you can get a personal loan with an interest rate starting at 10% p.a.

Is personal loan interest tax deductible?

Personal loan interest is not tax deductible when it is used for personal expenses.

How does my current debt level determine my interest rate?

High current debt levels increase the perceived risk for lenders, often resulting in higher interest rates due to the borrower’s higher debt-to-income ratio.

How does my income decide my loan interest rate?

Your income plays a crucial role in determining your loan interest rate. A higher income often leads to a low-interest rate because it demonstrates your repayment capacity. Lenders use your income to assess the risk and decide on a favourable rate that aligns with your financial stability, potentially resulting in a lower interest rate.

Can the lender change the loan rate during loan tenure?

In most situations, lenders are unable to change the interest rate on personal loan during the loan term. The interest rate is normally fixed from the start of the loan, providing repayment stability. However, it's advisable to review the loan agreement to confirm if any provisions exist that allow rate changes under specific circumstances.

How can I get the lowest interest rate on a personal loan?

Maintain a high CIBIL score, a stable income, and low existing debt. Applying with a trusted lender can also help. Just enter your phone number and OTP to check if you are eligible for Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan.

How are personal loan interest rates calculated?

Lenders evaluate your credit score, income, employer, and existing liabilities. Market conditions also play a role.

How can I reduce the burden of paying interest on a personal loan?

Choose a shorter tenure, make part-prepayments, or refinance your loan at a lower rate when eligible.

Pro tip: Paying EMIs on time improves your credit score and future loan terms.

Can I get a personal loan at a lower interest rate despite having a low CIBIL score?

It’s possible, but rare. You might need a co-applicant or collateral to negotiate better rates.

Fixed interest rates vs floating interest rates: Which is better?

Choosing between a fixed interest rate and a floating interest rate depends on individual preferences and financial situations. If you value stability and predictability, a fixed interest rate is ideal. However, if you can handle fluctuations and want the potential benefit of lower rates, a floating interest rate may be more suitable.

How fast will my personal loan documentation process be completed?

The speed of your personal loan documentation process depends on the lender's policies, your responsiveness, and the complexity of your application. Typically, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days for initial approval, and additional time for document verification and processing, varying between lenders.

Is it possible to get a personal loan without documents?

Obtaining a personal loan without documents is typically not possible with any lender, as documentation is crucial to assess creditworthiness and mitigate the risk of the borrower.

Is it possible to lower my personal loan interest rate?

Yes, if your credit score improves or your income increases, you can refinance or renegotiate with your lender. Already have a loan? Check if you have a pre-approved offer with better rates, using just your mobile number.

What is the EMI for a Rs. 1 lakh loan?

The interest payable on a Rs. 1 lakh loan varies depending on the loan terms. For example, the total interest payable for a Rs. 1 lakh loan, at an interest rate of 12% p.a. for a tenure of 2 years will be approximately Rs. 12,976.

What is the EMI for a Rs. 20 lakh personal loan?

Your EMI depends on the interest rate and tenure. For example, at 12% interest for 5 years, your EMI may be around ₹44,500. Use our Personal Loan EMI Calculator to get exact figures instantly.
