FAQ
What does “online loan cash converter” mean here?
It converts loan terms into the cash you actually receive (after fees) and the real cost (payment, total paid, and effective APR).
Is the “effective APR” the same as the lender’s APR?
Not always. This tool calculates an APR implied by your net cash received and payments, so upfront fees can push it higher than the nominal APR.
What loan types does this calculator fit best?
Fixed-rate installment loans with equal monthly payments. It’s not designed for credit cards, revolving lines, or variable-rate loans.
How are origination fees handled?
Origination is treated as a percentage taken out of the principal at disbursement (reducing net cash), while payments are still based on the full principal.
Can I calculate the loan amount needed to receive a specific cash amount?
Yes—switch to “From cash needed (net cash)” and enter the amount you want to receive plus fees; the tool estimates the required principal.
Why can the effective APR show as unavailable?
If net cash is zero/negative or the math would imply a negative rate (getting more cash than you repay), an effective APR can’t be computed.
Does this include late fees, insurance, or taxes?
No. It only models upfront fees, APR, term, and fixed monthly payments; add extra costs manually if they apply.
