How the repayment term changes the result
Longer repayment usually lowers the required monthly payment while raising total interest when the principal and APR remain unchanged. Review both numbers before choosing a term.
How interest rate affects your payment
Higher APRs generally mean higher installment payments and a greater total repayment amount. APR can also reflect certain borrowing fees, depending on the loan.
