Understanding APR and loan terms

APR (Annual Percentage Rate) is the yearly cost of borrowing, including interest, which lets you compare loans on a like-for-like basis. The APR you're actually offered depends on the lender and your credit profile - advertised rates aren't available to everyone, so use these figures as a guide rather than a quote.

A longer term lowers your monthly payment but increases the total interest you pay, since interest has longer to accrue. A shorter term does the opposite: higher monthly payments, less interest overall.
