What do you mean by 'a 10% loan'?
Your paperwork will show your APR.0 -
Sorry, you need to explain more about the loan as the details you have provided, and the question you have asked, don't make sense.The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.0

If the interest rate is 10%, then its 10%0

Let's say it's a $10k loan at a 10% interest rate. The interest therefore is $1,000.
If the interest is a one time fee (not annually - the loan is from a friend), and it takes 3 years to pay off the loan, is the friend truly making 10% on his money or is it less because of the length of time it takes to pay off the loan?0 -
the equivalent would be 6.3% APR0

Assuming the loan is paid off in 36 equal monthly payments of £305.58 then the APR would indeed be 6.3%

Interest rate tends to be quoted per year. Are you trying to ask what the APR is?Let's say it's a $10k loan at a 10% interest rate. The interest therefore is $1,000.

It depends on the repayment schedule.0 -
Could you please provide the formula you used to come up with the 6.3% calculation? I would like to be able to figure this out over the course of time in different scenarios. I also have a plan to provide a loan to someone and would like to know the realistic ROI, as a 10% interest loan is only 10% if the loan is paid off within a period of time. Thank you.0

The repayment schedule has fluctuated. The goal is to repay the loan without incurring additional interest annually, even though it will take more than a year to pay off. It is a loan from a friend so we are trying to negotiate something that will work for both of us and is fair at the same time. If a 10% loan was agreed upon up front, but the loan takes 3 years to pay off and therefore becomes a 6.3% interest loan, I want to have the proper calculations to determine what is a reasonable pay schedule.0 -
Hi,
if you've agreed to pay him 10% on $10,000, then you owe him $11,000, $366 a year or $305 a month, give or take a few cents.
Borrowing or lending from/to a friend can be risky, many friendships have failed over money.0
