How much does a payday loan cost in the UK?

The cost of a payday loan depends on the amount borrowed, the daily interest rate, and how long you borrow for. UK lenders are capped by the FCA – you will never pay back more than double what you borrowed. This calculator shows an estimate of total interest and repayment.

Can a payday loan cost more than double what I borrowed?

No. Under FCA rules, UK payday loans cannot cost more than 100% of the amount borrowed. For example, if you borrow £200, the maximum you will ever repay is £400 including interest and fees.

How can I reduce the cost of a payday loan?

You can reduce the cost by repaying as early as possible, borrowing only what you need, and avoiding rolling over loans. Using alternatives like credit unions or short-term instalment loans may also be cheaper.
