FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the monthly payment calculated?
Monthly payments are calculated using the standard amortization formula: M = P[r(1+r)^n]/[(1+r)^n-1], where P is the principal, r is the monthly interest rate, and n is the number of payments.
What's the difference between APR and interest rate?
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus other fees, giving you the true cost of the loan.
Should I choose a shorter or longer loan term?
Shorter terms have higher monthly payments but lower total interest costs. Longer terms have lower payments but more interest paid overall. Choose based on your budget and financial goals.
