Factors affecting your result
Weighted average APR approximation. Individual debt minimum-payment rules and early payoff charges are excluded.
Changing principal / amount changes the scenario being evaluated. Adjust one input at a time when comparing results, keep a copy of the assumptions, and compare values using the same unit and period. A precise arithmetic result does not make an uncertain assumption precise.
