A general-purpose math tool. It runs standard math on the numbers you enter, including a rate you choose yourself. Nothing is pre-filled. It is not an offer, quote, rate, approval, or estimate of any Desert Rock Capital loan. Desert Rock Capital does not offer title loans, and with a Desert Rock Capital loan your vehicle is never collateral. This is a neutral educational tool.

The calculator above is a general math tool and is separate from any Desert Rock Capital loan. Desert Rock Capital lends $100 to $3,000 in Utah with no credit check and fixed biweekly payments; the amount offered, if approved, is shown to you up front, and every payment is in writing before you sign.

## How the math works

APR = (monthly rate / days) x 365 x 100

Title loan fees are usually quoted per month. Restating a monthly fee as a yearly rate (APR) annualizes it, so the annual figure is larger than the monthly one. This calculator uses the APR method described by the CFPB.

Desert Rock Capital is a licensed Utah consumer lender. Our product is a personal installment loan of $100 to $3,000, with no credit check, no collateral, and fixed biweekly payments, for Utah residents. This calculator shows the cost of a car title loan, which Desert Rock Capital does NOT offer, and a Desert Rock Capital loan is unsecured so your vehicle is never at risk. It is general and educational, not an offer. Other lenders and products calculate costs differently, and your actual terms depend on your own agreement. We use the standard formula cited below so the math is transparent and not our invention.
