Should you transfer the personal loan?

Start here

Calculate remaining total outflow on the old loan versus the new loan including every transfer fee. This is the cleanest savings comparison.

What applies to this exact problem

Check these first

• Path A — Lower APR and same end date: Calculate remaining total outflow on the old loan versus the new loan including every transfer fee. This is the cleanest savings comparison.
• Path B — Lower EMI only because tenure is longer: Do not call the EMI drop a saving. Compare total interest and fees through the new end date, then decide whether cash-flow relief is worth the extra duration.
• Path C — Large upfront transfer costs: Calculate monthly saving and divide total switching cost by that saving. If you may repay or refinance before break-even, the transfer is weak.
