How Does Our Loan Calculator Work?
Our loan repayment calculator provides an estimate of what your loan repayments could be on a hypothetical loan. You can adjust the following details of the loan you want in the relevant fields to get your results:
- How much you'd like to borrow (our loans start from $3,000 and go up to $25,000).
- Over how many months would you like to repay the loan, aka your loan term (our loan terms range from 25 months - 48 months).
- And how frequently you'd like to make your repayments (weekly, fortnightly or monthly)
Our calculator will then show you your estimated repayments.
How to Apply
If you're happy with the results, all you need to do is hit the link in our calculator to get started on your application. You can do this 100% online - no paperwork required - and applying for a loan could take as little as 5-12 minutes1!
For a more detailed breakdown of our application process, see our how to apply guide here.
Remember that these are meant to be a rough guide only, and may not be exact based on your circumstances. Nor is our calculator meant to be an offer for credit. By applying for a loan with Jacaranda, any offer you may receive can vary once you complete an application and all relevant details have been captured and verified. Other fees, credit criteria and terms and conditions may apply.

Can you afford your repayments?
Just because the figure you were quoted by our calculator looks affordable, that doesn’t mean it actually is. Most people tend to underestimate how much they can actually afford to pay, which is why it’s crucial to fit these repayments into a budget.
When you apply for a loan, the success or failure of your application will ultimately come down to your serviceability, which is whether or not the lender thinks you can comfortably afford to repay the loan.
Loan serviceability is generally calculated by subtracting your estimated loan repayments and other expenses from your income.
These other expenses can include things like:
- General living costs and bills.
- Current credit card limits and credit card debts.
- Other loans, like car loans.
- Buy now, pay later (BNPL), wage advances, short-term (payday) loans etc.
- Gambling expenses.
And others. If your expenses are too high to be able to comfortably afford your repayments, your application may still be rejected.
