Understanding the True Cost of an OppLoans Loan

The calculator above shows you the full cost picture before you apply. Because OppLoans charges simple interest on amortizing installment loans, the total interest you pay depends heavily on three variables: the loan amount, the interest rate assigned to your loan, and the repayment term you choose.

The most important thing to notice is how quickly interest accumulates at triple-digit APRs. At 160% APR, a $2,000 loan repaid over 12 months costs nearly as much in interest as the original loan amount.

If the calculator result shows a total repayment significantly higher than the principal, consider whether a shorter term reduces the total cost (it does, at the cost of higher monthly payments), or whether an alternative lender with a lower APR is available to you.

$2,000 Loan ExampleTotal RepaidTotal Interest
99% APR / 12 months$3,012$1,012
130% APR / 12 months$3,492$1,492

160% APR / 18 months$4,716$2,716

Calculator FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions About OppLoans Payments

How is OppLoans' interest rate calculated?
OppLoans loans use simple interest amortization. Your bi-weekly payment is calculated using the standard PMT formula: monthly payment = P × r / (1 - (1+r)^-n), where P is principal, r is monthly interest rate, and n is number of months.
Is the calculator estimate accurate?
Our calculator provides estimates based on your inputs. Your actual approved rate depends on OppLoans' underwriting decision, your state of residence, and current market conditions. Actual APR may fall anywhere in OppLoans' published range.
What's a typical OppLoans monthly payment?
For a $2,500 loan at 160% APR over 12 months, expect payments of approximately $204 bi-weekly (about $442 monthly). Total repayment: approximately $5,300. Actual costs vary by loan amount, term, and your specific APR.
How does loan term affect total cost?
Longer terms mean lower individual payments but higher total interest paid. A $2,500 loan at 160% APR: over 9 months costs approximately $4,100 total; over 18 months costs approximately $6,750 total. Choose the shortest term you can afford.
Can I save money by paying OppLoans early?
Yes. OppLoans charges no prepayment penalty, so paying off your loan early stops interest accrual immediately. On a $2,500 loan, paying off 6 months early can save $600-$1,200 in interest compared to the full term.
Why is the APR so high?
OppLoans serves borrowers who cannot qualify for traditional bank loans due to credit history. The high APR reflects the higher default risk of subprime lending. For borrowers with better credit, APR from Upstart, LendingClub, or credit unions is much lower.
