How to read the result
Three habits of people who borrow well
01
Watch the total, not the payment
Any payment can be made to look small by stretching the term. The number that can't be gamed is the total cost of borrowing — it's why we print it in gold.
02
Shorter usually wins
Try the same amount at 18 and 36 months. The payment rises, but the total cost drops — often by thousands. Take the shortest term your monthly cash flow genuinely supports.
03
Test anyone's quote
Uncheck our origination fee and type in another lender's APR — if they'll tell you one. If they'll only give you a factor rate or a daily payment, that's your answer about them.
And the habit before all three: borrowing isn't right for every situation. If the calculator's payment looks uncomfortable against your monthly cash flow, believe the calculator — here's what we'd do instead.
