Your Estimated Credit Profile

Illustrative Impact Analysis

Please complete the loan and credit details to see an illustration of potential impacts. Remember, these are general estimates based on typical data and not actual loan offers.

For a $${loanAmount.toLocaleString()} loan over ${loanTermYears} years, with a self-assessed credit profile of ${selectedRange.text}, here's an illustration of potential costs.

Estimated Annual Percentage Rate (APR) Range for this profile: ${selectedRange.low.toFixed(1)}% - ${selectedRange.high.toFixed(1)}%.

Metric Based on Low End of Est. APR (${selectedRange.low.toFixed(1)}%) Based on High End of Est. APR (${selectedRange.high.toFixed(1)}%)
Est. Monthly Payment $${detailsLowAPR.monthlyPayment.toFixed(2)} $${detailsHighAPR.monthlyPayment.toFixed(2)}
Est. Total Interest Paid $${detailsLowAPR.totalInterest.toFixed(2)} $${detailsHighAPR.totalInterest.toFixed(2)}
Est. Total Loan Cost $${detailsLowAPR.totalCost.toFixed(2)} $${detailsHighAPR.totalCost.toFixed(2)}
`; if (creditScoreKey !== "excellent" && alcsiLastEstimationData.comparison.moreInterestHigh > 0) { outputHTML += `

Illustrative Comparison:

Compared to an 'Excellent' credit profile (which might see APRs from ${excellentRange.low.toFixed(1)}% to ${excellentRange.high.toFixed(1)}%), your selected '${selectedRange.text}' profile could potentially result in paying an additional $${alcsiLastEstimationData.comparison.moreInterestLow.toFixed(2)} to $${alcsiLastEstimationData.comparison.moreInterestHigh.toFixed(2)} more in total interest over the life of this example loan.
