Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is the monthly payment calculated?
A: Monthly payments are calculated using the standard amortization formula: M = P * [r(1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n - 1], where P is principal, r is monthly rate, and n is total payments.

Q: What affects my loan interest rate?
A: Your interest rate depends on factors including your credit score, loan amount, loan term, and current market conditions.

Q: Is there a difference between nominal and APR?
A: Yes. The nominal rate is the base interest rate, while APR includes fees and other costs. This calculator uses the nominal annual rate.
