# Loans & Credit

The cost of borrowing depends on the amount, the interest rate and the term, which together set the monthly payment or EMI (equated monthly installment), the total interest and the amortization schedule. APR, credit card payoff time and savings from extra payments follow from the same inputs. Results assume a fixed rate, so compare them with the lender's figures.
