Which calculator do I need?

Three numbers to compare on any loan offer

  1. The APR, not just the interest rate. It includes certain fees, so it's the fairest way to compare lenders.
  2. The total you'll pay over the life of the loan. A longer term lowers the monthly payment but usually raises the total.
  3. The monthly payment, checked against your budget. Make sure it still leaves room for savings and surprises.
