The actual interest rate on a mortgage will always be higher than the annual percentage rate unless the borrower keeps the loan for the full term. Refinancing or selling before the end of the term results in a much higher actual (effective) interest rate. The effective rate on a mortgage can be lower than the annual percentage rate (fixed rate) by paying extra to principal especially early in the mortgage term.
Annual Percentage Rate
The true annual rate of charged interest is called the annual percentage yield. It is the interest charged and compounded against.
Annual interest is interest that accumulates every year. This is a predetermined percentage that is added to a loan or credit card payment.
