APR gives you a single standardised number to compare loan offers from different lenders — making it easier to identify the most cost-effective option for your needs.
Follow these steps to calculate your Annual Percentage Rate:
When you take out a personal loan, the financial institution charges an APR (Annual Percentage Rate) — the yearly rate representing the total cost of the loan including interest and fees.
Listed below are the components used in the APR formula:
Interest: The total interest payable over the loan tenure.
Principal: The loan amount you applied for.
n: The number of days in the loan term.
You can use CreditPey's online APR calculator rather than calculating manually. Enter the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure — the calculator will display your estimated APR, EMI, and total repayable amount. Actual figures will vary based on your individual credit profile.
Understanding your APR before applying for a loan helps you make a more informed borrowing decision. Key benefits include:
