Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between APR and interest rate?
The interest rate is the base cost of borrowing expressed annually. APR (Annual Percentage Rate) includes the interest rate plus certain fees, so it gives a broader view of what a loan actually costs over time.
How does the debt snowball differ from the debt avalanche?
The snowball method pays off the smallest balance first regardless of rate, which builds momentum quickly. The avalanche method targets the highest interest rate first, which minimizes total interest paid over time.
