It is designed to help borrowers compare different loan options. For example, a loan with a lower stated interest rate may be a bad value if its fees are too high. Likewise, a loan with a higher stated rate with very low fees could be an exceptional value. <B>APR calculations incorporate these fees into a single rate. You can then compare loans with different fees, rates or different terms</B>. While APR calculations may vary from lender to lender to a small degree, all lenders must follow the same basic rules. <H1>APR is computed in two steps</H1><P>The first step is to calculate an APR payment amount. This is done by adding your closing costs to your loan amount, and then calculating a new monthly payment at your loan's interest rate. In this case, if you borrowed (LOAN_AMOUNT + TOTAL_CLOSING_COSTS) at INTEREST_RATE for TERM years, your APR monthly payment would be LOAN_APR_PAYMENT. Notice that this is different than your actual payment of MONTHLY_PI. <P> The second step is to calculate what interest rate produces a monthly payment equal to the APR payment amount. In this case, we calculate the interest rate that would require a LOAN_APR_PAYMENT monthly payment on a loan of TERM years in the amount of LOAN_AMOUNT. The result is LOAN_APR which is the APR for your loan. <P><B>Note:</B> It is important to point out that <B>the APR for a loan with no fees is always the same as the stated interest rate</B>. If you have a loan where the lender pays you for taking a higher interest rate, your APR for that loan may be <B>lower</B> than the stated interest rate. <H1>Mortgage Summary</H1><CENTER><table border=0 bgcolor='#000000' width=95% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0><tr><td width='100%'><table bgcolor='#FFFFFF' border=0 width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=5> <TR BGCOLOR='#CCCCCC'><TD COLSPAN=2><CENTER><B>Mortgage Information</B></CENTER></TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Loan amount</b></TD><TD>LOAN_AMOUNT</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Term</b></TD><TD>TERM years</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Interest rate</b></TD><TD>INTEREST_RATE</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Monthly payment (PI)</b></TD><TD>MONTHLY_PI</TD></TR> <!--SHOW_PMI--> <TR><TD><b>Total principal and interest payments</b></TD><TD>TOTAL_OF_PAYMENTS</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Total interest</b></TD><TD>INTEREST_PAID</TD></TR> </TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE> </CENTER> <P> <CENTER><table border=0 bgcolor='#000000' width=95% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=0><tr><td width='100%'><table bgcolor='#FFFFFF' border=0 width=100% cellspacing=1 cellpadding=5> <TR BGCOLOR='#CCCCCC'><TD COLSPAN=2><CENTER><B>Closing Costs</B></CENTER></TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Origination fee</b></TD><TD>ORIGINATION_FEES_AMT</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Paid for points</b></TD><TD>DISCOUNT_POINTS_AMT</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Other fees</b></TD><TD>OTHER_FEES</TD></TR> <TR><TD><b>Total closing costs</b></TD><TD><B>TOTAL_CLOSING_COSTS</B></TD></TR> </TABLE></TD></TR></TABLE> </CENTER> <P><DIV class=large>Payment schedule</DIV> <HR SIZE=1> **REPEATING GROUP** <BR> <HR SIZE=1> <CENTER><P class=footer> Information and interactive calculators are made available to you as self-help tools for your independent use and are not intended to provide investment advice.
