Debt Consolidation in Pakistan: A Complete Guide with Free Calculator

What Is Debt Consolidation?

Debt consolidation combines multiple high-interest loans into a single loan with a lower interest rate, simplifying repayments and reducing financial stress. In Pakistan, where personal loans average 18–30% APR, consolidating debt can save thousands of PKR annually.

Key Benefits for Pakistani Borrowers

• Lower monthly payments via extended tenure
• Reduced interest burden through bank rate comparisons
• Improved credit score via timely EMI payments

2. Interest Rate (APR)

Understanding Your Results

1. EMI (Equated Monthly Installment)

• Formula:CopyDownloadEMI = [P × r × (1 + r)^n] / [(1 + r)^n – 1] Where:
  • P = Principal (loan amount)
  • r = Monthly interest rate
  • n = Tenure in months

2. Total Interest Payable

• Example:
  • ₨500,000 loan at 18% APR for 24 months = ₨108,200 interest

3. Risk Meter (Green/Red Zones)

• Safe Zone (Green): EMI ≤ 40% of income
• High Risk (Red): EMI > 40% – triggers repayment alerts

4. Islamic Finance Options

• Qarz-e-Hasna: Interest-free loans compliant with Sharia law
• Murabaha Financing: Asset-based agreements via Islamic banks
