How are my monthly payments calculated?

  • The Debt Consolidation Loan is for a 9 year term at 9.00% fixed APR*. Here is one example of how it can be used:

    • Consider your annual household income $160,000.00. If you are borrowing the full 40.00% of that income, you would receive $64,000.00. With the proceeds from the loan, you could eliminate the following debts:

      • Car Loan - Balance Due = $32,500.00 | Monthly Payment: $770.00

      • Credit Card - Balance Due = $14,800.00 | Monthly Payment: $300.00

      • Student Loan #3 - Balance Due = $5,000.00 | Monthly Payment: $125.00

        • Total Balance Due = $64,000.00 | Total Monthly Payments: $1,469.00

        • After PEARL Loan = $867.00
