You can use this loan APR calculator to estimate the effective interest rate on a personal loan. The calculator uses out of pocket costs associated with an application and other fees to figure out an effective monthly payment on the loan. Based on that new payment, the APR on the loan can be determined.

If there are any other out-of-pocket costs associated with the loan itself, this is where you would enter that information.
Total Loan Fees ($)
The total loan fees are the total of the application fees and other costs associated with the loan itself.
Monthly Payment on Loan ($ / Month)
This is the calculated monthly payment due on the loan or money borrowed. It does not include fees and other costs associated with the loan.
Effective Monthly Payment ($ / Month)
This is the effective monthly payment, which takes into consideration fees and other costs associated with this loan. The effective monthly payment is the basis for the APR calculation.
