Annual percentage rateFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.Annual Percentage Rate (APR) is an expression of the effective interest rate that will be paid on a loan. It is different from the "note rate" (the advertised interest rate) because it includes one-time fees in an attempt to calculate a "total cost" of borrowing money. In a simplified example, if you borrow $100 for one year at 5% simple interest (meaning that you will owe $105 at the end of the year) and you pay the lender a $5 origination fee , your total cost to borrow the money will be $10 ($5 for the simple interest plus $5 for the origination fee) and your APR is a bit less than 10%. APR is intended to make it easier to compare lenders. In the US , lenders are required to disclose the APR before the loan (or credit application) is finalized. While there are several acceptable ways to calculate the exact APR, the general process is:
