What does the Loan Cost Index measure?
This index is a reference grid of loan costs under stated assumptions. It is not a weighted economic index, an average APR, a price survey or a forecast. It measures how principal, a fixed rate and repayment length change payment and total interest when every other modeled condition stays the same.
Version 1.0.0 contains 420 scenarios: ten principals from $2,500 to $50,000 × seven illustrative rates (6%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 36%) × six terms (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72 months). These ranges describe dataset coverage, not BYL or partner product availability, eligibility or underwriting limits.
Illustrative calculations, not offers. Fee-free examples assume a fixed annual interest rate equal to the labelled APR, equal monthly periods, and payments made on time. The APR inputs are scenarios, not available lender rates. Real APR can include fees and may differ from the interest rate used to calculate payments. Actual lender disclosures control.
What are the payments for each loan amount?

How much does a higher APR assumption add?
Hold principal and term fixed before comparing rates. The table measures each $10,000, 36-month scenario against the 10% scenario. Negative differences mean lower modeled costs; positive differences mean higher costs. Required fees could make a real loan’s APR differ from its interest rate.
| Illustrative rate | Monthly payment | Payment difference | Interest difference | Repayment difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6% | $304.22 | $-18.45 | $-664.29 | $-664.29 |
| 10% | $322.67 | $0.00 | $0.00 | $0.00 |
| 15% | $346.65 | $23.98 | $863.33 | $863.33 |
| 20% | $371.64 | $48.96 | $1,762.70 | $1,762.70 |
| 25% | $397.60 | $74.93 | $2,697.35 | $2,697.35 |
| 30% | $424.52 | $101.84 | $3,666.38 | $3,666.38 |
| 36% | $458.04 | $135.37 | $4,873.18 | $4,873.18 |
The CFPB explains the distinction between APR and interest rate: APR reflects interest and additional loan fees. Our equal APR/rate labels apply only to the explicit zero-fee model. See APR versus interest rate for a fee example.
What does a lower payment cost when the term gets longer?
For the same principal and a positive fixed rate, a longer term lowers the scheduled monthly payment while increasing interest and the number of payments. These paired calculations isolate term length; they do not assume a longer loan will be available at the same rate.

What can these examples not tell you?
They do not predict acceptance, available APR, loan availability, savings or lender decisions. They omit fees, daily accrual, irregular first periods, payment-level rounding, late payments, extra payments, refinancing costs and state-specific restrictions. A lender may adjust the final installment; multiplying a displayed rounded payment can differ by cents from the displayed total. Differences are calculated before rounding.
