How is interest accrued on my loan?

Our loans are calculated with simple interest.

  • Simple interest is the calculation of daily accrued interest on your principal loan balance.
    • Interest accrues from the date of your last payment through the date of the next received payment.
    • If a payment is received 29 days from the last payment, there will be 29 days of interest charged on the unpaid principal balance of the loan. The remainder of the loan payment is credited to principal and reduces the unpaid principal balance on the loan.
    For example, a $25,000 loan at a 7% interest rate would be calculated using the formula (Principal Balance x rate)/ 365 days:
    • $25,000 x 7% =$1,750
    • $1,750/365 days = $4.80 per day

    As the principal balance is paid down, the daily interest will decrease as well.

    Use the loan calculator to determine your approximate loan payment.
