loan rate

Interest on borrowing

A loan rate is the interest rate charged on borrowed money—what a lender charges a borrower for the use of funds over time.

The term appears in discussions of mortgages, car loans, student loans, and business financing: Current loan rates make refinancing attractive.

Lower loan rates reduce the total cost of borrowing; higher rates increase it.
