How loan amounts are set in Canada
A loan amount is not a single figure a lender picks out of the air. It is the result of a conversation between what you need, what you can repay and what the lender is willing to risk. Two people with the same income can be offered very different amounts because their debts, stability and history differ.
It helps to think in ranges rather than targets. Choosing the number is your job; deciding whether to lend it is the lender's.
The questions that decide the amount
Work through these before you look at offers. The answers narrow the range faster than any calculator.
- What is the money for, and is the cost one-time or ongoing?
- How much can you repay each month without squeezing rent, food or utilities?
- How stable is your income over the next year?
- How long are you comfortable carrying the debt?
- Would a smaller amount solve the problem just as well?
- Do you have savings or an asset you could use instead of borrowing?
What lenders weigh
Lenders typically look at income, existing debt payments, housing costs and your credit history. For larger amounts, and for anything secured, they also look at the asset involved and how easily it could be sold. The FCAC — personal loans page explains the information a lender should give you before you sign, including the total cost of borrowing.
If a secured option is on the table, the federal rules matter too. As set out in the FCAC — mortgages material, a home equity line of credit at a federally regulated lender is generally limited to 65% of appraised property value, with total secured lending usually capped at 80%.
Borrow less than you are offered
Being offered more is not a reason to take more. Interest is charged on the balance, so every extra dollar you do not need is a dollar you pay for. A smaller loan you clear quickly usually beats a larger one you carry for years, even when the larger loan carries a lower rate.
