Frequently asked debt consolidation loan questions
-
The debt consolidation calculator totals up the debts you input and, using your average interest on that debt, estimates how long it would take to pay it all off if you continue to simply make your current monthly payments. It also estimates how much you'd spend on interest if you continued to pay down your debt in this way. Then, the calculator estimates your pay-down time and total interest paid if you were to get a debt consolidation loan with the estimated rate shown for the calculation.
This helps you compare your current situation to what might happen if you consolidated your debt. Your rate may vary based on the information contained within your application. These numbers are for comparison purposes only.

With a fixed rate loan, you could lock in an interest rate that might be lower than what you're currently paying on your outstanding balances. This means you could pay less in interest over time. Additionally, a fixed rate loan could lower your monthly payments to help you save money on interest each month, and it may help you pay down your debt faster. Read more about consolidating debt.

Rates vary depending on the card, however, Discover personal loan rates may be lower than credit or store card rates, so by consolidating higher-rate credit card debt, you could save money on interest.
Additionally, our loans offer a fixed rate and fixed repayment term, giving you a set regular monthly payment you can budget for. You also get the benefits of having one monthly payment with a fixed rate and a clear, defined knowledge of when your loan will be paid in full.

With a Discover personal loan, you get a fixed rate. That means you'll lock in your interest rate, so your monthly payments will remain the same for the duration of your loan, as long as you make the monthly payments on time. This is typically the key difference between a line of credit and a personal loan.
-
There are no prepayment penalties on your loan. You can pay more than your regular monthly payment amount. Keep in mind, you will not receive any refund of interest charges previously incurred and paid if you pay off your loan in full early.
Generally, payments will be first applied to any accrued and unpaid interest, then toward the principal balance. If you have a balance of late fees, part of your payment may be applied to them after you have satisfied your New Amount Due and any Amount Past Due.
