Lower monthly payments can cost more overall

A longer term spreads the principal across more payments, but keeps interest running for longer. Compare both the monthly payment and total repaid.

Interest rate, not an all-in APR

Enter the fixed annual interest rate before fees. This estimate divides that rate by 12 and assumes equal payments at the end of every month. Arrangement fees, payment holidays and early-repayment charges are excluded. A lender’s quoted APR can include fees, so it may not reproduce the same repayment figure here.
