If you need this hope it helps!
When shopping for a mortgage or thinking about refinancing your mortgage, keep in mind that an advertised interest rate isn’t the same as your loan’s annual percentage rate (APR). What’s the difference?
- The interest rate refers to the cost of borrowing money and is expressed as a percentage.
- The APR, also expressed as a percentage, reflects the effective cost of your loan on a yearly basis. It takes into account fees and costs such as interest, mortgage insurance, mostclosing costs, discount points and origination fees. APR is an estimate and may change if there are any changes in loan amount, loan term or other criteria. Your monthly payment is not based on APR, it's based on the interest rate on your promissory note.
Why the difference? The APR is intended to give you more information about what you’re really getting. By making lender fees part of the equation, you can better see the true cost of a loan and make a fair comparison.
Keep in mind that the APR is for comparison between lenders only. The interest rate quoted is the actual interest rate you would pay on the loan.
So evaluate carefully when you look at the rates lenders offer you. Compare one loan’s APR against another loan’s APR to get a fair comparison of total cost—and be sure to compare actual interest rates, too.
