APR (Annual Percentage Rate) estimates the total yearly cost of borrowing, including interest and certain fees, expressed as a percentage. It helps compare options beyond the note rate alone.
- Note rate affects principal and interest.
- APR adds some fees to show an overall yearly cost.
- APR is not a guarantee of total costs; timing and individual fees vary.
