LOAN CONSTANT
An interest factor used to compute the debt service of a loan. To get the loan constant, divide the monthly loan payment (sum of the interest and principal) by the remaining principal in the loan. It can be used to compare the real cost of borrowing. Given the two loans options, generally, the borrower will opt for the loan with lower loan constant, since it will have lower debt service requirement.
