Frequently asked questions

APR vs APY?

APR is a borrowing-cost measure used for loans and cards. APY is commonly used for savings and shows yield including compounding.

How do fees affect APR?

Fees increase borrowing cost even if the interest rate stays the same, which is why APR can be meaningfully higher than the stated rate.

Does APR matter for credit cards?

Yes. Credit card APR helps estimate borrowing cost when you carry a balance, though daily compounding and fees can complicate the exact result.

Why does APR matter for mortgages?

Mortgage APR helps compare offers with different fee structures and rates, though it is still not a perfect forecast of your total long-term cost.

How do I compare offers?

Compare APR, payment, fees, prepayment terms, and total finance charge rather than focusing on one number alone.

Is this exact?
