Some loans claim to have 'no fees,' but they may charge higher interest rates to make up for it

Some personal loan lenders allow for the origination fee to be deducted from your loan amount.

One discount point will generally cost you 1% of your total amount. So for a $200,000 mortgage loan, one discount point would raise your origination fee by $2,000 . And two discount points would raise your origination fee by $4,000 . For example, let's say you paid $2,000 for a discount point and your lower APR will save you $50 per month on your mortgage. In that case, it will take you 40 months to break even on the decision .
