Comparing Loan Structure Options

When evaluating multiple loan offers, look beyond just the monthly payment. Pay close attention to:

  • Total Cumulative Interest: The total amount paid over the lifetime of the loan.
  • Payoff Horizon: How many years you will remain in debt.
  • Early Prepayment Terms: Whether early payoff incurs penalties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I compare loan options?
A loan with a lower interest rate but longer tenure can end up costing significantly more in total interest than a shorter loan with a slightly higher monthly payment.
What is APR vs Interest Rate?
Interest rate is the annual cost of borrowing the principal sum. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes interest plus lender fees and points, showing the true annual cost.
