Key Factors Influencing Your Loan
Understanding the components of a personal loan helps you make smarter financial decisions:
- Principal Amount:
- This is the initial sum of money you borrow from the lender. A higher principal means higher payments or a longer term.
- Interest Rate (APR):
- The cost of borrowing money, expressed as a percentage of the principal. A lower interest rate significantly reduces your total repayment amount.
- Loan Term:
- The duration over which you agree to repay the loan. Longer terms often mean lower monthly payments but higher total interest paid.
- Monthly Payment:
- The fixed amount you pay back to the lender each month, covering both principal and interest. Ensure this fits comfortably within your budget.
- Total Interest Paid:
- The cumulative amount of interest you will pay over the entire life of the loan. This is a crucial figure for understanding the true cost of borrowing.
