💡Ponto Xave
The loan term is the agreed duration over which you must repay the borrowed sum.
Longer loan terms reduce your periodic monthly payment but significantly increase total interest paid.
Shorter loan terms require higher monthly cash flow but save substantial money in interest.
Understanding Loan Terms
The term of a loan refers to the predetermined time frame agreed between the borrower and lender for full repayment. Common terms range from 12 to 60 months for personal/auto financing, and 15 to 30 years for residential mortgages.
