Loans by amount

Pick the number. We'll show the month.

Four amounts people actually search for, each with its own page: what it covers, what it costs per month at a common rate, what income it wants, and when to borrow less. $200 to $5,000 in $50 steps between them.

Monthly figures at 35.99% APR except $5,000 at 11.99% (personal loan, good credit). Representative example: $2,500 over 12 months at 35.99% APR is $251.14 a month, $3,013.71 total. Your offer shows your rate, payment and total before you sign; declining costs nothing.

The income each amount wants.

Lenders approve on income and bank history, not a score. The working rule most of them use: the payment should sit at or under about 12% of your monthly take-home. Type yours and the ruler marks what fits.

A rule of thumb, not an underwriting formula; lenders also look at existing debt and how often the account dips below zero. Requirements

The amount picks the product.

You fill in one request. The number you ask for, with your income and credit, decides which of the three loan types the offer comes back as.

$200–$1,500Short-term

One payday, or 3–6 payments.

Priced as a finance charge, about $15 per $100 per cycle. The right tool for a bill smaller than your paycheck.

Short-term loans →
$500–$5,000Installment

3–24 equal monthly payments.

Fixed APR, 29.99%–149% by credit and state. Most lenders report on-time payments, so it's also the one that builds credit.

Installment loans →
$2,000–$5,000Personal

12–24 months from 5.99% APR.

For stronger credit. The one for consolidating cards or a planned expense, where the rate matters more than the speed.

Personal loans →

Overlaps are real: a $1,000 request can come back as a 30-day short-term loan or a 6-month installment loan, depending on your income pattern. The offer says which. Compare the three

questions

More in the full FAQ.

How much can I borrow through FrontPay?
$200 to $5,000. The amount on your offer is set by your income, your bank history and your state's cap, not by the amount you typed, so ask for what you need and expect the lender to size it. Amounts under $500 are short-term loans; $2,000 and up with stronger credit may price as a personal loan.
Does asking for more hurt my chances?
A little. A $5,000 request on a $2,400-a-month income will come back smaller or not at all, and a counter-offer takes a day. A request that fits your income usually funds on the first pass. The ruler above is the quick check.
Can I borrow an odd amount, like $1,350?
Yes. Lenders fund in $50 steps between $200 and $5,000. The four pages here are the amounts people search for; the math on each one scales.
What's the smallest loan worth taking?
$200 is the floor and it's a short-term loan. Under that, the fee on any loan is a bad trade; a fee-free cash advance app or a payment plan with the biller is the right tool, and we say so on every page.
Will a bigger loan need a credit check?
Seeing offers is a soft inquiry at every amount. Accepting a $5,000 offer is likelier to involve a hard inquiry and income documents than accepting a $500 one, because lenders carry more risk. What lenders ask for
