FAQs
Does the loan payment estimate include fees?
No. It uses the amount, annual rate, and term you enter. Real offers may include fees and other costs.
Should I choose the longest term for the lowest payment?
Not automatically. A longer term can lower monthly payments while increasing total interest.
