The words in quotation marks are the lender's own.

“Personal loans through Upstart range from $1,000 to $75,000 with fixed rates and 3- or 5-year terms.”
“Minimum loan amounts vary by state: GA ($3,100), HI ($1,500), MA ($7,000).”
Fertility treatment
Upstart's medical-loans page names fertility treatments among the costs a loan can cover.
“A medical loan [...] can be used for a wide range of healthcare expenses, including surgeries, dental work, fertility treatments, and other medical procedures.”
Checking your rate
Checking a rate is a soft inquiry.
“When you check your rate through Upstart, we perform a soft credit inquiry, which does not affect your credit score.”
Its own worked example
The origination fee is part of the APR: in Upstart's example it is 8.15% of the loan.
“A representative example of payment terms for an unsecured Personal Loan is as follows: a borrower receives a loan of $10,000 for a term of 60 months, with an interest rate of 19.08% and a 8.15% origination fee of $815, for an APR of 23.37%.”
What $25,000 would cost with Upstart
$25,000 is a typical all-in IVF cycle on our cost model. The payments are arithmetic on Upstart's published range, not an offer.
| At | Months | A month | Repaid in all |
|---|---|---|---|
| Its lowest APR, 6.3% | 60 | $487 | $29,209 |
| Its highest APR, 35.99% | 60 | $903 | $54,190 |
Most families need 2.3 to 2.7 cycles, so a loan sized to one cycle can run out mid-treatment. Where a lender takes an origination fee out of the loan, you receive less than you borrow: size the loan to the bill plus the fee.
What would a loan cost each month?
- Monthly payment
- $595
- Total interest
- $10,685
- Total repaid
- $35,685
Standard fixed-rate arithmetic. Many personal lenders also take an origination fee (0% to about 10%) out of the loan, so you receive less than you borrow; the APR a lender quotes already counts it.
