Frequently Asked Questions About Personal Loan Borrowing Capacity Power

Borrowing power is the estimated amount a lender might let you borrow based on your financial profile. This figure is influenced by earnings, regular expenses, outstanding debts, credit rating, and the loan length you’re seeking.

Your credit score greatly influences your borrowing capacity. A strong credit score can boost your chances of approval, potentially unlocking access to higher loan amounts and more competitive interest rates. On the other hand, a poor credit score may limit the amount you can borrow.

No, using a borrowing capacity calculator does not affect your credit score. It’s a risk-free tool that provides a loan estimate based on the details you enter, and doesn’t involve any formal credit enquiries or checks.

To boost your borrowing power, consider paying down existing debts, minimising day-to-day spending, increasing your income, or working to improve your credit score. Minor improvements in your financial situation can positively influence how much loan you can borrow.

After calculating your borrowing power, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with our experienced brokers who will help you find a personal loan that fits your needs, from a panel of over 40 trusted lenders.

You can also use our online quoting tool to compare interest rates and repayment options for personal loans from our lenders.
