36% per year for North Carolina. What is the maxium fee/charge then on a 4300 loan?

What is the math equation fo figure this out?

thanks

a


Loan amount $ 300 (Do not use commas.)
Loan term in years or months 1 years or 12 months
Interest rate * 36 % per year
* Find the best interest rates in your area for more personalized results.
Loan start date 12/13/2006


Monthly Payments: $ 30.14

So am I correct to say that a $300 would cost someone $30.14 x 12 = $361.68

So the total would be $661.68 for the 12 months?

If you want to figure out just the interest for a given period it is a different calculation. Since most payday loans are only 14 days in length, I assume you want to figure out the interest for 14 days...

Here is the equation

36% (apr)
------------ X $300 X 14 days
365 (days/yr)

= 29.59 cents per day
x 14 days = $4.14 interest total in period
