Loan Mechanics

APR (Annual Percentage Rate)

The all-in yearly cost of a loan, including interest rate plus most fees.

Different from the note rate: a 7.5% note rate with 2 points and $5k in fees might carry an APR of ~7.9%. APR helps compare offers only when the loan structure (term, amortization) is identical.
