What is the difference between APR and interest rates?
In: Economics
Interest is money charged to borrow money.
APR is a way to measure an interest rate across a standard set of time (a year, the A stands for ‘Annual’). Not every Loan is expected to be paid off within exactly a year so APR is a good way to measure the true cost of a loan or to evaluate two different loan terms against each other.
