if the loan interest is less than epf interest, better park in epf. QUOTE(sheahann @ Oct 10 2023, 09:31 AM) if flexi loan. park all ur extra money inside btw assuming you loan 350k at 4.15% with tenure 35 years. thats come about 1.6k a month. total interest paid to serve 35 years is 314k. if u pay extra 1k a month, your tenure is cut off by 20 years roughly . you will settle your loan around 15 years with total interest paid roughly 120k.

that's the standard mortgage calculation for fixed installments. unless bank allowed you to have reducing installment, you can't have same fixed portion for interest and principal. QUOTE(ameliorate @ Oct 10 2023, 10:14 AM) The banks are very sneaky. You pay more interest than principal the first 1/3 of the loan duration and then slowly reduce. That's why first 10 years your principal don't reduce much. They know majority investors will sell off property within this period so they already earn enough from your interest. That's how banks are legal loan sharks.

it's not bank standard calculation but it's a universal formula for mortgage calculation. if you not agree, can you show your correct calculation? of course you are paying the most interest in the beginning because the interest is based on the principal which is at the max compare to at the ending of your loan period. QUOTE(ameliorate @ Oct 10 2023, 11:12 AM) The standards are fixed by the banks. If they want to change it they can but they won't. I'm saying they skew too much in the banks favor. You're paying around 90:10 interest vs principal during the first few years of the loan. Many people have impression that housing loan is similar to hire purchase. The banks want profit but this is too greedy. If ah long do this everyone condemns but if banks then it is ok.

looks like you don't have anything to substantiate your claim, okay thanks. QUOTE(ameliorate @ Oct 10 2023, 11:30 AM) You mabuk ketum ke? Again, if they want to change it they can but they won't. No such thing as 'universal'. I can't do shit because I don't have money to buy house in cash. You pandering to the banks like you own them.
