INTEREST COST
Total interest incurred by a borrower over the entire term of a loan. The amount should include any points paid to cut down the interest rate on a loan, since points are basically pre-paid interest. In addition, any negative points or rebates paid by a lender to a borrower should be deducted from the interest cost since they are in effect a refund of future interest the borrower will pay on the loan.
