Loan Terminology

Annual Percentage Rate

APR (annual percentage rate) includes interest rates and any credit union fees. APR should always be advertised.

Fixed vs. Variable Rate

• Fixed rate is a consistent rate throughout the length of the loan.
• Variable Rate is subject to change over the life of the loan.

Monthly Payments

APR, term length, and loan amount are calculated into your monthly payment. The monthly payment amount is what is considered when looking at a monthly budget.

Debt-to-Income Ratio

DTI (debt-to-income) measure income and debt – a low DTI is favorable and more likely to service a debt or loan.
