Loan calculator

A loan gives you the money you need upfront and lets you spread the cost of paying it back. So whether it's a special holiday, a car or a new kitchen, a personal loan can make it more affordable.

Loans are available to UK residents aged 18 and over. Rates will vary depending on loan amount, term and individual circumstances. Subject to status. The maximum APR you could receive is 34.5% APR.

This means that if we decide to lend you money, it won't be secured on your home, car or other assets. You can then spend this money on the things you need.

You can apply for a loan term from 12 to 120 months depending on the loan amount and purpose. Just remember that the maximum repayment period might be lower for certain loan purposes.

We offer loans to cover costs big and small and you can be specific about the amount you need, down to the pound.

The interest rate is fixed for the life of the loan.

At the beginning of the loan we work out the interest you will pay over the whole length of your loan and add this to your loan amount. We calculate your interest charge by applying interest at a monthly rate based on the APR to the balance of your loan, as reduced by your monthly repayments. We add this to the loan amount and then divide this total by the number of monthly repayments.

The loans calculator will give you an example of what it might cost you based on the loan amount and term you want. However, the interest rate we offer may be higher depending on your individual circumstances.

Barclays will continue to use the Tesco Bank brand on all existing Tesco Bank banking products through a long-term strategic partnership with Tesco. If your application is successful, there'll be no immediate changes to how you use and manage your account on a day-to-day basis.

Sometimes it can really take the pressure off when you don't have to start repaying your loan straight away, especially if you've got extra expenses to cover.

So when you apply for a loan, you might be eligible to apply for a payment break before stating your monthly loan repayments.

Your payment is made by monthly Direct Debit from the account the loan is paid into. Your first payment will be made one month after issue of the loan on the date you have chosen in your application, unless you apply for an initial payment break (See under Payment Break tab).

All Tesco Bank Personal Loans are fixed rate. This means your monthly Direct Debit payments will be the same every month until your loan is paid off. Nice and simple.

We'll charge £12 each time a loan payment is late and £12 when a default notice is issued.
