Frequently Asked Questions
APR stands for Annual Percentage Rate. It represents the yearly cost of borrowing money, including interest and fees, expressed as a percentage.
More frequent compounding increases the effective APR because interest is charged on interest more often. Our calculator allows you to choose monthly, quarterly, semi-annual, or annual compounding.
You can input any upfront fees such as origination fees, processing fees, or closing costs. These are subtracted from the loan amount to determine the net amount you receive.
