Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about loan calculations and repayment scenarios.
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal amount. The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes the interest rate plus other fees like broker fees, points, and some closing costs. APR is the better metric for comparing the true cost of different loan offers.
