FAQ

What factors affect my loan interest rate?

Your credit score, income, debt-to-income ratio, loan amount, and loan term all affect the interest rate you're offered.

Should I choose a shorter or longer loan term?

Shorter terms mean higher monthly payments but less total interest. Longer terms offer lower payments but cost more overall.

Can I pay off my loan early?

Most loans allow early repayment, but some have prepayment penalties. Check your loan agreement for details.

Is taking a loan always bad?

No. Loans are tools. Used wisely for the right reasons, they can help. This calculator helps you see the cost clearly so you can decide.
