Basically you would need an excel calculator for this, but try looking at the way interests is calculated:
daily chargeable interest: [
current balance outstanding] x [interest rate/365]
monthly chargeable interest: [
current balance outstanding] x [interest rate/365] x [number of days in the month]
As you can see, the [
current loan balance] is a function of the interest calculation. When you make a payment into the loan account, and reduce that figure, your chargeable interests are also reduced. Hence when you pay your installments at the end of the month a
smaller portion of this installment would be used to pay for the interests, hence a bigger portion used to pay for the capital repayment.
As you perform
more capital repayment this month, next month's interests payment would reduce as well. This will cascade all the way until the end of the loan, of which the loan tenure would be reduced automatically.
Hi, would you be able to recommend a calculator to see what's the savings like?
I'm trying to figure out if i should park my extra money in my flexi loan account to reduce interest or settle off another loan (SME loan).
I've managed to calculate the savings on clearing my SME loan using the rule of 78. Now i would like to make a comparison to see which is a wiser move.
Thanks.
