When shopping for a loan-whether it's a mortgage, auto loan, or personal loan-the interest rate isn't the only factor. You also need to consider the loan term and any upfront fees.
A lower monthly payment often comes from a longer loan term, which means you'll pay more in interest over the life of the loan. Always check the "Total Interest" metric to see the true cost.
Some lenders offer lower rates but charge higher upfront fees (points). Use this tool to see if the monthly savings from a lower rate justify the extra upfront cost.
Sometimes the "best" loan is the one that fits your monthly budget, even if it costs slightly more in total. Use the "Monthly Payment" comparison to ensure the loan is sustainable for your current income.
