An Example
Let us take up this short example of APR calculation & see how it differs from normal interest rates:
Loan Amount (P) = $100
Additional Cost (E) = $5
Interest Rate (I) = 12%
Monthly Interest Rate (r) = R/100*12=0.01
Number of month (n) = 1


Now, applying Newton-Raphson Methodwe get APR (A) =0.0605*1200=72.60%


So from the above calculation we see that for a loan amount of $100 with 12% interest, APR can be as high as 72.60%, depending upon the extra costs &the time taken for repayment.


The calculation is however very confusing & critical. The calculator in this page makes that easier & faster.
