explicit interest

Differentiate implicit from explicit interest and gross from pure interest?


Explicit interest is the stated interest rate.
Implicit interest is interest that is embedded in either a higher principal amount or more commonly additional fees.


For example, suppose you get a car loan with a stated interest rate of 2.9%, but you have to pay $5,000 in fees when typical fees are only $500.

2.9% is the explicit interest and the $5,500 in additional fees represents implicit interest.
