Borrowing cost explainer

The number that matters is the total you will have paid back, not the monthly figure alone.

Borrowing cost explainer

APR is a standard way of expressing yearly cost, but it is only comparable when the loans share a term and a purpose; we show where that breaks down.

Using plain numbers, we compare the same sum borrowed over different terms so the effect of time on cost is visible, not abstract.
