Frequently Asked Questions

What is APR?
Annual Percentage Rate includes interest and certain fees, giving a better comparison of loan cost than the interest rate alone.
How is APR approximated?
One common approximation: APR ≈ (2 × number of payments × total interest + fees) / (principal × (number of payments + 1)) × (payments per year).
Do fees affect APR?
Yes. Upfront fees reduce the amount you effectively receive and increase the true cost, so APR is higher when fees are included.
