This suggests a return to the normalized rate of 5.5 %, which would result in Ontario's
annual interest costs moving from $ 12 billion to $ 13 billion and climbing to $ 17 billion once all debt is refinanced.
At that point, assuming the bridge that lasts 50 years, the government would charge the federal budget $ 100 million a year for 50 years, along with
the annual interest costs associated with the borrowing.
If that rate holds, that means an eventual $ 61 billion additional,
annual interest cost to taxpayers.
If you have poor credit your new credit may be costing you almost 30 % interest and if you are rolling over payday loans
your annual interest costs are more like 548 %.
Going back to our example above of having a credit card with an average balance of $ 5,000 and an interest rate of 10 %, we can see that
our annual interest cost on the card will be in the neighborhood of $ 500, right?
