Understanding Loan Payments
Loan payments are calculated using the same amortization formula as mortgages. The monthly payment stays constant, but the split between principal and interest changes each month.
Key factors that affect your payment:
- Loan Amount: A larger loan means larger payments
- Interest Rate (APR): Higher rates significantly increase total cost
- Loan Term: Longer terms mean lower monthly payments but more total interest
- APR vs Interest Rate: APR includes fees and other costs, giving a truer picture of borrowing cost
Tip: Even a 1% difference in APR can save hundreds or thousands over the life of a loan. Always compare offers from multiple lenders.
