APR (Annual Percentage Rate) measures the total yearly cost of a loan. Unlike a simple interest rate, APR includes lender fees, giving you the true cost of borrowing.

An APR calculator is a specialized financial tool designed to compute the Annual Percentage Rate of a loan.

This makes it an essential tool for comparing different loan offers accurately.
