Understanding Loan Fees— Why It Matters More Than Just APR
The Annual Percentage Rate (APR) includes interest but does not always account for origination fees in the way consumers expect. Here's how fees affect your real cost:
| Scenario | Loan Amount | Origination Fee | You Receive | Total Interest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| No-fee lender (15% APR) | $10,000 | $0 | $10,000 | $1,243 |
| 2% fee lender (14% APR) | $10,000 | $200 | $9,800 | $1,158 |
| 4% fee lender (12% APR) | $10,000 | $400 | $9,600 | $988 |
Estimates based on 36-month term. Actual rates vary by lender and credit profile.
