The comparison rate is calculated by taking the total cost of a loan, which includes the interest rate, fees, and charges, and expressing it as an annual percentage rate. To compute it, you typically use a standardized formula that factors in the loan amount, term, and any additional costs over the life of the loan, allowing consumers to compare different loan products effectively. This calculation helps to provide a more accurate representation of the true cost of borrowing than the interest rate alone.

What does comparison rate mean. Im looking at a car loan and it shows a rate of 8.99pa then a comparison rate of 10pa. what one is it?

When you see a comparison rate, usual the comparison rate they show you includes all fees and extras. So the comparison rate of 10 pa, is the actual amount you pay for the loan. The 8.99 pa is the "interest rate" ONLY, not including fees and extras. They call it "Comparison Rate" , because its the best way to "Compare" it to other loans from other lenders. (Hence the name)
