Question 1

What is the difference between APR and APY?

Accepted Answer

APR is typically the nominal yearly borrowing cost; APY (annual percentage yield) reflects compounding and is common for savings. Context determines which label applies.

Question 2

Can this verify a lender's quoted rate?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if payment, balance, and term match the contract, the solved rate should align with the disclosed APR within rounding.

Question 3

Why might my solved rate differ slightly from the quote?

Accepted Answer

Fees financed into the loan, rounding, or different day-count conventions can create small gaps. Always read the Truth in Lending disclosure.
