What a $500 loan typically covers

At $500, you're usually covering something specific and time-sensitive rather than a small day-to-day gap.

A rent shortfall

Make up the difference on rent so you can avoid a late fee.

A larger car repair

Get your vehicle back on the road without missing work.

Dental or medical work

Cover a cost your insurance only partially covers.

What a $500 loan actually costs

Ontario and Saskatchewan cap payday loan fees at $14 per $100 borrowed. Here's the exact breakdown for a $500 loan over our minimum 14-day term — the same representative-example format used across our site.

Amount borrowed$500
Cost of borrowing (14 days)$70
Total repayment$570
APR364% (includes interest and all applicable fees)
Term14 to 62 days — your exact due date is set before you sign

Longer terms within the 14–62 day window will have a different total cost. Your exact repayment amount and due date are disclosed in your loan agreement before you sign — never after.

Do you qualify for $500?

To qualify for the full $500, you'll generally need at least $1,000 in net income per pay period, since your maximum loan amount is capped at 50% of your net pay. If your income is lower, you may still be approved for a smaller amount.
