APR Formula

The formula for calculating APR is:

Where:

• Total Interest = (Loan Amount × Interest Rate) × Loan Term
• Total Fees = Sum of all loan origination fees, discount points, and other closing costs

This formula gives you the true annual cost of borrowing, including all fees and interest.

Worked Example

Let's calculate the APR for a $200,000 USAA home loan with a 4.5% interest rate, 30-year term, and $3,000 in closing costs.

1. Calculate total interest: ($200,000 × 0.045) × 30 = $270,000
2. Add closing costs: $270,000 + $3,000 = $273,000
3. Calculate APR: ($273,000 / $200,000) × 100 = 136.5%

In this example, the APR is 136.5%, which is significantly higher than the stated interest rate due to the closing costs.
