How much will a £20,000 loan cost?

The cost of a £20,000 loan depends on the interest rate you’re offered by a lender.

When you see the available loan offers from our panel of lenders, each will have an interest rate or APR. If you have a better credit score, you will likely be offered a better interest rate by a lender. The lower the interest rate, the less you will pay over the term of your loan.

As £20,000 is a significant amount of money, it’s likely you will want to have a longer period of time to pay it back to keep your monthly repayments as low as possible. Be aware that the longer the term of the loan, the more interest you will pay. A £20,000 loan over 10 years will have lower monthly repayments than a £20,000 over 5 years, but will cost you more in total.

£20,000 loans with bad credit

If you’ve had debt problems or issues with money in the past, this can affect your credit score. You may find it difficult to get a loan for £20,000 with bad credit.

But you may be able to borrow a smaller amount or speak to a specialist bad credit lender. If you’re offered a £20,000 loan with bad credit, expect to pay higher interest rates.
