Factors determining the right tenure for you

The right tenure for your personal loan depends on several crucial factors that affect both your immediate cash flow and long-term financial health:
 

  • End-use of the loan: Emergency expenses might require shorter tenures, whilst major investments like home renovation could benefit from longer repayment periods
  • Your monthly income and expenses: Your disposable income determines how much you can comfortably pay as EMI each month
  • Loan amount: Larger loan amounts often necessitate longer tenures to keep EMIs affordable
  • Interest rate implications: Longer tenures result in lower EMIs but higher total interest paid over the loan's lifetime
  • Financial goals: Your other financial commitments and future plans influence the ideal repayment period
     

Pro-tip: Use the Bajaj Finserv Personal Loan EMI Calculator to compare different tenure options. This helps you visualise how tenure length affects your monthly payments and total interest cost, enabling you to make the best decision for your financial situation.
