How much a $500 payday loan can cost in Colorado

The passage of Proposition 111 will limit interest rates and added fees on payday loans to a maximum Annual Percentage Rate of 36 percent. Current law, from 2010, caps the interest rate at 45 percent but allows for additional fees, which can bring the loan's APR to 180 percent.
