Why Your Interest Rate Isn’t the Whole Story

Copy of Copy of Copy of Heading (4)

You found a great interest rate—but don’t sign just yet! Look at the APR (Annual Percentage Rate), which includes:

  • The interest rate

  • Loan origination fees

  • Points

  • Mortgage insurance

  • Other closing costs

A loan with a lower interest rate might have higher fees, so the APR gives you a more accurate picture of total cost over time.

Pro tip: Compare APR to APR (not just rate to rate) when shopping lenders to make sure you're truly getting the best deal.
