RM37200 / 36 = RM1133.33
RM 30k @ 4% p.a. FD/CASA, reducing by RM1133.33 -> You will earn RM1501
Note 9 -> RM3599
So you lose 7200-1501-3599 = RM2100 only.
This is my calculation. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
RM37200 / 36 = RM1033.33333333
FD multiplier @ 4.3% per annum = 1+[0.043/12] = 1.003583333 (assume banks accept 1k for the 4.x% promo and pay interest on a monthly basis)
Number of months = 36, 35, 34, ..., 2, 1
Month 1 = 1033.3333333 x 1.003583333^36 = RM1175.34
Month 2 = 1033.3333333 x 1.003583333^35 = RM1171.14
Month 3 = 1033.3333333 x 1.003583333^34 = RM1166.96
.....
Month 35 = 1033.3333333 x 1.003583333^2 = RM1040.75
Month 36 = 1033.3333333 x 1.003583333^1 = RM1037.04
Total I get is : RM39772.36 from placing 1033.3333 into 4.3% FD (in theory. I know minimum deposit is normally 10k) every month for 36 months. Extra 2.5k.
At the end of the day, I think banks would cash in the fat interest when people miss out some payments.
