Frequently asked questions

What is APR Calculator?

Compute the true APR of a loan including fees, plus the monthly payment and total cost.

When would I actually use this?

Before signing: checking whether the instalment fits the budget, comparing two offers at different rates and terms, and seeing what a shorter term really costs each month.

What is the most common mistake?

Comparing monthly instalments instead of total interest. A longer term always looks cheaper each month and costs more overall — the two figures move in opposite directions.

How is APR Calculator different from APR to APY Calculator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: APR to APY Calculator is the one to open when you need it to convert a nominal APR into the effective APY for any compounding frequency. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

APY to APR Calculator is the closest one after this: Convert an effective APY back into the nominal APR for any compounding frequency.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Loan-to-Deposit Ratio Calculator and Boat loan calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from?

The amortisation arithmetic is standard and exact; the rate is yours to supply. Lenders add fees, insurance and sometimes a different compounding convention, so treat the result as the loan's own cost, not the offer's APR.

ComparisonWhat the APR Includes That the Rate Does Not — and Why 6 % Can Beat 7.5 % BackwardsA 6 percent loan with a 3 percent fee and compulsory insurance carries an APR of 10.7 percent and costs $486 more than a 7.5 percent loan with no fees at all. The APR is the figure that catches it.ExplainerThe EMI Formula Explained — and Why a Longer Term Is Mostly a Transfer to the LenderEMI = P·i·(1+i)^n ÷ ((1+i)^n − 1). On $300,000 at 6 percent, doubling the term from 15 to 30 years cuts the payment by 29 percent but multiplies the interest by 2.2 — from $155,683 to $347,515.How-toHow to Pay Off Credit Card Debt: The Minimum Payment Trap in NumbersPaying the minimum on $5,000 at 20 percent takes 40 years and costs $18,500 in interest. A fixed $200 a month clears it in under three years for $1,522. Here is the method.ExplainerMortgage Points: When Buying Down the Rate Actually PaysOne point on a $300,000 loan costs $3,000 and saves $47.93 a month. The naive break-even is 63 months; discounted at 4 percent it is 71. And the number that decides it is not either of those — it is how long you keep the loan.ExplainerA Balloon Loan's Payment Is Small Because the Debt StaysA balloon loan is priced on a long amortisation and repaid on a short one, and the whole instrument lives in that gap. On $250,000 at 6.5%, amortised over 30 years and due at 7, the payment is $1,580.17 and the lump sum still owed is $226,040.61 — 90.4% of what you borrowed.ExplainerThe Two Numbers That Set Your Borrowing CapacityA lender does not decide how much you can borrow. A ratio decides a monthly payment, and an interest rate turns that payment into a principal. On $7,500 of income the two steps give $1,805 and $285,571 — and clearing one $280 debt adds $44,299.
