Frequently asked questions
Plain-language answers about when to use the estimate, what your numbers mean, what is left out, and how privacy works.
When should I use the APR Calculator?
Use it for early planning and side-by-side comparisons, especially for tasks like these: Estimate how fees can raise APR above note rate. Compare loan offers with different fees. Treat the answer as a planning estimate, not a final quote.
What is the APR Calculator doing with my numbers?
In plain language: The calculator estimates the scheduled payment at the note rate, subtracts entered fees from amount received, then solves the annualized rate implied by that payment stream. If the result seems too high or too low, first check whether each field expects a monthly amount, annual amount, dollar value, or percent.
What does this estimate leave out?
This is not an official Truth in Lending disclosure. APR rules can include specific finance charges, timing rules, tolerances, and lender disclosures. Real finance decisions can also depend on fees, timing, local rules, credit details, and provider-specific terms.
Does the site save my finance inputs?
No. The calculator runs in your browser tab. Recent answers stay only on the page while you use it, and they are not sent to a server.
