What personal loan rates look like right now
There is no single average rate, because each benchmark measures something different. The Federal Reserve reports banks’ most common 24-month personal loan rate at 11.90% (Q3 2026, released Oct. 7, 2026). Bankrate’s survey of the largest banks, for a borrower with a 700 FICO score, averaged 12.55% on Oct. 14, 2026. Online lenders — which serve a wider range of credit — offer more: the credit-score table above shows NerdWallet’s averages. Across major lenders, advertised APRs run from about 5.96% to 35.99%.
Watch for the origination fee
Many online lenders charge an origination fee of 1% to 10% of the loan (up to 12% at some), usually subtracted from the money you receive. With a 5% fee, a $90,000 loan deposits only $85,500 in your account — to end up with the full $90,000, you would need to borrow about $94,737. The fee is included in the APR, which is why you should compare loans by APR rather than interest rate. Several banks and some online lenders charge no origination fee at all.
Is a $90,000 personal loan the right tool?
A personal loan makes the most sense when it replaces more expensive debt or funds a one-time cost at a lower rate than the alternatives. Consolidating credit card balances can cut your rate sharply — model it with the credit card payoff calculator and read whether debt consolidation is worth it. For home projects, a home equity line may be cheaper if you have equity: compare in HELOC vs. home equity loan vs. personal loan. Before applying, check where the new payment leaves your debt-to-income ratio.

Calculation Formulas
P is the amount borrowed, r is the monthly interest rate (APR ÷ 12), and n is the number of monthly payments (years × 12). Personal loans are fixed-rate, so this payment is the same every month.
Example:
A $15,000 loan at 12% APR over 5 years → M ≈ $334/month, about $5,000 of total interest.
Every payment over the term, minus the amount borrowed, is the interest; the sum of all payments is the total cost of the loan.
Key Figures
| Figure | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Typical terms | 2–7 years | Shorter terms cost less interest; longer terms lower the monthly payment. |
| Origination fees | Often 1–8% | Some lenders deduct a fee from proceeds — not included in the payment math. |
