It is a really good idea to make sure that you know what is expected with regards to repaying a loan before you take one out. This is because it is really important to make sure that you repay the loan on time as otherwise you could be fined or face extra charges. No one wants the prospect of paying extra and so the best idea is to make sure that you only take out a loan if you are confident that you will be able to repay it. It is therefore really important to find out exactly how the repayment will work so that you can do the relevant calculations and work out whether a loan is a good idea for you or not.

How to Find Out

You need to find out how the repayment will work on the loan that you have chosen. It is a good idea to look on the lender’s website for this information. It might be clear but if it is not, then contact them and ask. It is so important that you find out and if you have to wait a long time for a reply, then this might tell you something about the lender and make you think about going elsewhere. A lot of payday lenders have a calculator on their website, where you can work out how much you will have to repay. You can enter the amount that you intend to borrow and the date that you will repay it and it will let you know hoe much you have to repay.

What it is Likely to be

It is very likely, that you will be expected to repay everything that you have borrowed and the interest and charges all together. Generally, you will be needed to repay that lump sum on the next day that you get paid. This could be just a few weeks or even a few days after you take out the loan, which means that you will need to find the money really quickly. The interest rate can be pretty high but because you are not borrowing for long, that will help to keep the costs down a bit. There is also a cap on the amount that can be charged on this sort of loan and you cannot be charged more than what you have borrowed. So if you borrow £200 and you do not repay on time and get charged extra fees, these fees plus the interest cannot go above £200, so you will never pay more than double what you borrowed.

How to Tell of you can Repay 

It is much better though, to repay the loan on time and then you will not have to pay any extra fees. Therefore, you will need to be well prepared to make sure that you have the money that is required available. It is a good idea to actually calculate whether you will have enough. You should know how much you need to repay and when, so that is the first step done. However, you will then need to work out how much you will be paid and what other items you will be repaying on the day that you need to repay the loan. We often have bills that are paid on the day we get paid and so you will need to check for those.  If you have too many payments going out, you could find that there will be not money left to repay the loan. You will also need to look at other things that you will need to repay through the month and make sure that you will have enough money left to pay for those as well.
