How accurate is a loan calculator?

It's highly accurate for standard fixed-rate loans, assuming the interest rate and term you enter match what a lender actually offers.

Does using a loan calculator affect my credit score?

No. Loan calculators are estimation tools only — they don't involve a credit check or loan application.

What's the difference between APR and interest rate?

The interest rate is the cost of borrowing the principal. APR includes the interest rate plus certain fees, giving a complete picture of the loan's true annual cost.
