Frequently Asked Questions

How is loan interest calculated?▼
Most loans use amortized interest where each payment covers accrued interest plus a portion of principal. The formula is M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1].
What is APR vs interest rate?▼
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. APR includes the interest rate plus fees, giving the true yearly cost of the loan.
