Why total interest matters as much as the monthly payment
Two loans with the same monthly payment can have very different total costs if their terms differ — a longer term spreads the same balance across more payments, which can lower the monthly amount while increasing the total interest paid over the life of the loan. This tool shows both numbers side by side so you can weigh that trade-off deliberately.
