Calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge (APRC)

The mortgage directive has provisions for the calculation of the annual percentage rate of charge (APRC).

Description

The annual percentage rate of charge refers to the annual cost of a loan to the consumer, expressed in terms of the total value of the loan.

A calculator based on these provisions is available below to help users (including regulators, consumers, creditors) calculate the APRC of a given value of credit. This Excel tool complements the existing calculator for consumer credit.

This tool is accompanied by a report presenting 44 examples and a guide.
