Compare loan costs on equal terms
This tool amortizes a fixed principal at a nominal annual interest rate. It does not calculate fee-inclusive APR. Enter the interest rate from the offer, then compare origination fees, optional insurance and other charges separately.
A smaller monthly payment can come from extending the term rather than lowering the cost. Compare total interest as well as the installment, and check whether fees are paid upfront, deducted from proceeds or added to the borrowed amount.
For a fee financed into the loan, include that amount in principal to model the payments. That does not turn the displayed rate into APR; APR requires the actual timing and amount of cash received and paid.
| Principal | Rate / years | Monthly | Total interest |

| $5,000.00 | 9.9% / 2 | $230.49 | $531.85 |
