Loan overpayment and repayment holiday calculator
How does it work?
This calculator can show you how making extra payments, or taking a repayment holiday, could change the end date of your loan and the amount of interest paid overall.
You’ll need your loan balance, regular monthly payment amount and the APR of your loan for the next sections. The easiest way to check these is in Internet Banking or the mobile app. Alternatively, you can find your monthly repayment amount on the bank statement where the loan Direct Debits are paid from, and the APR on your loan agreement paperwork.
Take a one-month repayment holiday
- A repayment holiday gives you a one-month break from your loan repayments.
- You’ll have the option to apply for up to two non-consecutive repayment holidays in a rolling 12-month period (subject to approval).
- You won’t need to make your usual repayment during your repayment holiday, but we’ll still charge daily interest on your loan balance.
- You’ll pay more overall and it will extend your loan’s original term.
- We’ll tell you what the additional interest will be before we confirm and start your repayment holiday. You can also use the calculator to get an idea of how much extra your interest charges are likely to be before you apply.
If you would like to take a repayment holiday, you’ll need to let us know at least five working days before your next loan repayment is due.
You can ask for a one-month payment holiday at any time, providing you are up-to-date with your loan repayments and have 30 days or more remaining on your loan term.
