How to Compare Loan Offers
Compare loans by true total cost, not just the monthly payment.

Don't compare by monthly payment alone
A lower monthly payment often hides a longer term and more total interest. Always compare the full cost.
What to compare
- Total repayment over the whole term
- All fees: processing, insurance, early-settlement
- Monthly burden vs your income (keep total debt under ~35%)
