Understanding APR vs interest rate
The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. The APR (annual percentage rate) includes the interest rate plus any origination fees or other lender charges, making it a more complete picture of the loan's true cost. Always compare APRs — not just interest rates — when shopping for a loan.
