Calculate Personal Loan EMI
What Is an Interest Rate?
An interest rate is the cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the principal loan amount, typically calculated annually (p.a.). In India, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) sets benchmark lending rates, but each lender determines the final rate offered to a borrower based on individual credit profile, income stability, employment type, and loan tenure.
Interest rates on personal loans can be fixed remaining constant throughout the tenure or floating, linked to external benchmark rates. Hero FinCorp personal loans are offered at a fixed interest rate starting at 18% per annum, providing complete repayment predictability.
