BVKKMN is the Lithuanian abbreviation for the annual percentage rate of charge on consumer credit. It helps express the overall cost as an annual percentage, taking account of interest and relevant credit charges. An advertised interest rate alone is not enough to compare the complete price of two loans.
Keep three figures separate
Interest describes the charge for using borrowed money. BVKKMN expresses the relevant overall borrowing cost as an annual percentage. The total amount payable shows the euros to be paid under the proposed agreement. Each figure answers a different question, so read them together rather than choosing one as a complete answer.
For example, a lower instalment can result from a longer term. That may ease the monthly budget while increasing total repayment. BVKKMN helps with comparison, but the amount, term, payment dates and full cost remain essential context. It does not by itself show that a payment is affordable for your household.
Compare on a consistent basis
Use the same loan amount and repayment period for every offer. Check which fees are included and whether an optional product has been selected. Advertising examples for different amounts or terms are not directly equivalent. The individual pre-contract information and agreement should explain the actual proposal.
Read the conditions behind a promotion, early repayment or a delayed first instalment. Ask the provider to explain unclear costs in writing. This guide is general information, not an individual offer or an approval promise.

Provider-specific information should be checked against current individual documents before making a decision.
