Guide to the TAN and APR
by admin on Aug.10, 2008, under Loans
How can we assess what is the best loan through the reading of these percentages?
First of all we must remember that TAN and APR are two parameters that are found in every type of loan, by law, be it a personal loan or a mortgage.
But what is?
Their definition is as follows:
- TAN literally mean annual rate. This rate is expressed as a percentage of the sum lent, and indicates the interest that the contractor or the loan will have to pay the loan to repay the bank credit. In this figure does not include any administrative and other costs, which are instead expressed in the APR.
- APR is an acronym for Annual percentage rate of charge. This is also a percentage, a period and this is information that the bank or where a claim is required to provide by law. A quantity whose calculation is not immediate and expressing in it all the overhead costs of the loan.
Always have a watchful eye on signing a loan, because small percentage differences can be solved in large differences in cash at the end of the month!
