About Personal Loan Calculator (UAE)
Unsecured credit is priced on you, not on collateral — which is why the UAE personal-loan quotes span such a wide band. The defaults here (AED 50,000 at 7.9% over 4 years) sit mid-market; type in the exact offer you've been given to see the instalment, the total interest and how fast the balance actually falls. Two CBUAE hard caps shape every UAE personal loan: the amount cannot exceed 20 months' salary, and the tenure cannot exceed 48 months — which is why the tenure input here tops out at 4 years. Salary-transfer loans (your employer pays your salary into the lending bank) price meaningfully below non-transfer products, but moving your salary later can trigger penalty clauses or rate resets; read that clause before signing. Banks may quote flat or reducing rates — insist on the reducing-balance rate (this calculator's input) for comparison; a '4.5% flat' is roughly 8.2% reducing over 4 years. Early settlement is regulated at typically 1% of the outstanding (with a cash cap), making refinancing after a salary raise or rate drop genuinely worthwhile. Many products also require loan insurance — price it into the comparison.

Frequently asked questions
What is the monthly instalment on a AED 50,000 personal loan?+
At 7.9% for 4 years the reducing-balance formula gives the figure shown above. Because personal loans are short, small rate differences matter less than fees — a 2% upfront processing/origination fee on AED 50,000 often outweighs a 0.5% rate discount. Compare total cost, not the rate alone.
How much personal loan can I get in the UAE?+
At most 20 times your monthly salary by CBUAE regulation — AED 10,000 salary caps the loan at AED 200,000 — subject to the 50% debt-burden ratio: all your instalments together may not exceed half your income. Banks also set product minimum salaries, commonly AED 5,000–8,000.
What happens to my UAE loan if I lose my job?+
Tell the bank early. End-of-service benefits often route to the lending bank under salary-transfer terms and may be set off against the loan. Most banks offer restructuring or payment holidays case-by-case; involuntary-loss-of-employment insurance (often bundled) can cover several instalments — check whether your loan carries it.
Will prepaying a personal loan save me much?+
Yes, but mostly in the first half of the term — that's when the interest share of each instalment is largest. Check your lender's prepayment clause first: rules differ by market and by fixed vs floating pricing, and a stiff prepayment fee can eat a year's worth of interest savings.
