Calculate your debt ratio and adjust your loan
Before applying for credit, it’s important to calculate your debt ratio to make sure it’s within an acceptable range.
📌 How do you calculate your debt ratio?
(Total fixed monthly expenses / Net monthly income) x 100
Example:
- Net monthly income: CHF 5,000
- Expenses (rent, outstanding loans, insurance): CHF 1,500
- Debt ratio = (1,500 / 5,000) x 100 = 30% (acceptable)
💡 MultiCredit tip: If your debt ratio is too high, we can study a credit repurchase solution to reduce your monthly payments and optimize your application.
Choosing the right loan amount and term
Don’t ask for too much
More credit than you need may reduce your chances of acceptance and increase the total cost of the loan.
Choose the right duration
✔ A short term = higher monthly payments but lower total cost of credit.
✔ A long term = lower monthly payments but higher cost of credit.
💡 MultiCredit tip: We simulate several loan scenarios to find the best amount/duration/interest rate combination for your budget.
Adding Guarantees to Secure Credit
If your credit file shows certain weaknesses, adding guarantees can improve your chances of obtaining a better rate.
📌 Solutions to secure your file:
✔ A co-borrower (spouse, parent) to reassure the bank.
✔ A property as collateral if you own your own home.
✔ Substantial savings to prove your ability to cope with the unexpected.
💡 MultiCredit tip: We advise you on the best strategies to optimize your file and get a fast response.
