Our debt consolidation plan calculator is a great starting point to estimate your monthly repayments. But keep in mind that it’s just an estimate.
The EIRs of these debt consolidation loans are between 6.42% and 8.22%, but keep in mind that the final interest rate, tenure, and monthly amount you’re offered will ultimately depend on your personal credit profile, as well as your debt amount, and the bank’s internal assessment.
For instance, while the calculator might show an effective interest rate (EIR) of 7.7% p.a., your actual rate may vary due to processing fees, administrative charges, or your credit score. Some lenders may also reject applications if you don’t meet certain internal criteria—even if you qualify on paper.
The calculator helps you visualise how different loan tenures and interest rates affect your monthly repayment. Simply input your total outstanding debt (e.g. S$50,000) and your preferred repayment period (e.g. 3 years).
Want to see how shorter tenures reduce total interest paid but increase monthly repayments? Try toggling between 1-, 3-, or 5-year options. Longer terms reduce monthly payments but result in higher total interest.
A debt consolidation plan (DCP) is a type of personal loan designed to help you combine multiple unsecured debts such as credit cards, personal loans, or credit lines, into a single loan with a lower interest rate.
Instead of paying off several loans with different due dates and interest charges, you’ll make one fixed monthly repayment. This not only simplifies your finances, but also saves you money on interest—especially if you’re currently paying extremely high interest rates on your credit card.
Once your DCP is approved, the bank will pay off all your outstanding debts directly to the various lenders on your behalf. After that, you’ll owe only the bank that issued the DCP, repaying them at a lower and more manageable rate over time.
Some DCPs even offer daily transport or cash allowances to support your finances while you focus on repaying your debt.
Not everyone qualifies for a DCP. These plans are regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and meant for Singaporeans facing significant debt challenges. You’ll need to meet specific requirements on citizenship, income, and debt levels to be eligible.
To qualify for a DCP, you must be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident (PR). Foreigners are not eligible, even if they work and live in Singapore.
You must earn between S$20,000 and S$120,000 annually and have net personal assets below S$2 million. This range targets the middle-income segment most vulnerable to high-interest debt.
You must also owe at least 12 times your monthly income in unsecured credit across financial institutions. This ensures DCPs are reserved for borrowers with a high debt-to-income ratio who genuinely need help.
If you don’t meet the criteria, you can still manage your debts using a personal loan. Just do it similar to how a DCP works—borrow a lump sum at a lower interest rate, and use it to pay off your higher-interest debts.
The key is discipline: make sure you immediately repay all your other loans once the funds are disbursed. Don’t treat the loan as free money, or you’ll end up deeper in debt.
This DIY approach offers flexibility but requires commitment to succeed.
Yes, if you’re struggling with multiple debts and high interest rates. DCPs can lower your monthly payments and reduce the total interest paid.
Only unsecured debts like credit cards and personal loans are allowed. Car loans, home loans, and education loans are excluded.
Initially, yes. Taking a DCP may cause a slight dip in your credit score, but on-time repayments will improve your score over time.
Yes. If you miss repayments, your credit score could suffer. Also, you may be tempted to spend again if your credit cards are not cancelled post-DCP approval.
Typically, 1 to 2 weeks. Once approved, your DCP provider will repay your existing debts directly. You’ll then begin monthly repayments to the new lender.
Missing a payment on your debt consolidation loan can have serious consequences. Most banks will impose late payment fees and may report the missed payment to credit bureaus, which can hurt your credit score.
If the missed payment isn’t resolved quickly, it could lead to:
Increased interest charges or penalties
Loss of promotional rates, if your DCP came with special terms
Collection action by the bank if multiple payments are missed
Difficulty getting future loans or credit cards
To avoid this, always ensure there’s enough in your bank account for GIRO deductions, and consider setting up reminders or automatic payments. If you foresee difficulties repaying, reach out to your bank early—they may offer restructuring options to help you stay on track.
