How it is signed

Depends on the route you choose. How it must be signed depends on the choices you make in the questions. Your signing checklist states exactly which formalities apply to your version.

What it draws on

  • Civil Code
  • Lending Company Regulation Act
  • Truth in Lending Act
  • BSP/BIR rules where applicable

The exact provisions, with links to the official text, are listed under the Philippine law behind it.

How to complete your Loan Agreement and Promissory Note

The guided interview takes you through 8 steps. The document updates as you answer, and some questions appear only when your earlier answers make them relevant.

  1. Step 1

    Confirm this loan fits

    This route is for a private, one-off Philippine peso loan—not regulated lending as a business or a real-estate mortgage.

    Up to 2 questions
  2. Step 2

    Identify both parties

    Use complete legal names, notice addresses, and authorized representatives for entities.

    Up to 12 questions
  3. Step 3

    Set the loan and release

    The contract will identify the exact principal, lawful purpose, release date, and proof of disbursement.

    Up to 4 questions
  4. Step 4

    Build the repayment schedule

    LAW.PH calculates equal principal installments and simple interest on the reducing balance using actual days over a 365-day year.

    Up to 5 questions
  5. Step 5

    Set prepayment and default

    Prepayment has no penalty. Late interest is separated from ordinary interest and applies only after a missed payment and written demand.

    Up to 4 questions
  6. Step 6

    Choose whether the loan is secured

    This generator can create a security interest over personal property, but not a mortgage over land or a condominium unit.

    Up to 10 questions
  7. Step 7

    Add lawful deal terms

    Use this field only for an agreed term that does not conflict with the repayment schedule or mandatory law.

    Up to 2 questions
  8. Step 8

    Finish and execute

    Keep the signed agreement, disbursement evidence, payment records, notices, and any tax or registry proof together.

    Up to 3 questions

Loan Agreement and Promissory Note

Republic of the Philippines · Template v0.2.0

This Loan Agreement and Promissory Note (the “Agreement”) is made on August 29, 2026 between Maria L. Santos, an individual with address at 100 Ayala Avenue, Makati City 1226, as “Lender,” and Juan Dela Cruz, an individual with address at 20 Kalayaan Avenue, Quezon City 1100, as “Borrower.”

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the Borrower unconditionally promises to pay the Lender the principal sum of ₱120,000.00, together with only the interest and lawful charges expressly stated in this Agreement, according to the schedule below.

1. Loan purpose and disbursement

The loan is for this lawful purpose: Purchase of specifically identified equipment for the Borrower's printing business. The stated purpose does not limit the Borrower's payment obligation unless mandatory law requires otherwise.

The Lender shall disburse ₱120,000.00 on August 31, 2026 by bank transfer to the Borrower's nominated account, with transfer confirmation retained by both parties. The Lender's duty to fund and the Borrower's duty to repay are supported by documented transfer, receipt, or other reliable evidence of actual disbursement. No interest accrues before actual disbursement.

2. Written interest and finance-charge disclosure

The unpaid principal bears simple conventional interest at the expressly stipulated rate of 12% per year. Interest is computed on the daily reducing principal balance using actual elapsed days divided by 365, rounded to the nearest centavo for each installment. This written stipulation is intended to satisfy Article 1956 of the Civil Code; no unstated interest, add-on interest, or compounding is agreed.

Assuming timely payments exactly as scheduled and no prepayment or default, the disclosed conventional finance charge is ₱7,758.90, the principal is ₱120,000.00, and the total scheduled payment is ₱127,758.90. There is no origination fee in this Agreement. These figures change only for an actual prepayment, delay, lawful tax, or signed amendment.

The selected rates fall within this generator's standard-review band, but enforceability still depends on the transaction's circumstances and applicable law.

3. Repayment schedule

The Borrower shall make 12 payments monthly, beginning September 30, 2026, by bank transfer to the Lender's account stated in a signed payment instruction. A payment is credited when actually received in cleared funds. Each ordinary payment is applied first to the scheduled interest for that period and then to principal; a lawful payment application required by Article 1253 or another mandatory rule prevails.
