How loan repayments are worked out

Most personal loans are repaid in equal monthly amounts. Each payment covers that month's interest on what you still owe, and the rest pays down the loan. Early on most of the payment is interest; by the end almost all of it is paying off the amount you borrowed.

Why the APR and the length matter

The APR is the yearly cost of borrowing including interest and required fees, so it's the fairest way to compare loans. A longer term means smaller monthly payments but more interest in total. The rate you're offered depends on your circumstances, so check the lender's own figures.
