The truth is that a large portion of payday customers end up in dire financial straits because of these seemingly innocuous loans. Hereâs what happens. The average payday loan charges a fee of about $15 for every $100 borrowed. That might sound like an interest rate of 15%, but thatâs the fee for a two-week loan. On an annualized basisâwhich is how most people think about interest rates, or shouldâthat translates into a rate of 391%.
In most cases, payday loans are much more expensive than other cash loans. For example, a $500 cash advance on an average credit card that is repaid in one month would cost you $13.99 in finance charges and an annual interest rate of about 5.7%.nd the finance charge to borrow $100 ranges from $15 to $30 for two week loans. These finance charges are sometimes accompanied by interest rates ranging from 300% to 750% APR. For loans shorter than two weeks, the APR can be even higher.
