you might need to simulate some basic calculation in your case
lets say you owe 20k with 1% interest and 10 years repayment period
total repayment : 20,000+2,000=22,000
ujrah : 2,000/10/12 : 16.67
monthly payment : 183.333 | ujrah = 16.67 / principal =166.66
if you pay 3x per month
monthly payment : 550 | ujrah = 50.00 | principal = 500
total period needed : 22,000/550 = 40 months = 3 years 4 months
Actually from my calculation, early or late, you still have to pay 22,000. You only settle it earlier than the contract period
what is the point behind all these?
We do some reverse caluculation,
if you use usual payment @ 183.33 to pay until 3 years 4 months : total you have paid is [183.33x40=7333.2]
if you use 3x payment method : total you have paid is [550x40=22000]
the different is how you gonna utilize your [22,000-7333.2=14,666.8] after 40 months time
scenario 1 :
you continue pay 183.33 , you have additional 14,666.8 to do investment
scenario 2 :
you pay 3x, you only have additional 550 to do investment because you already settle the loan
get the logic behind?
you only save time, not saving money
but why you need to save time while its only 1% of servicing it? its only matter if you owe credit card which charge you 18% annual then you have to rush like hell
This is a good illustration.
I guess individual's preference though. My tenure is 20 years and I don't want to still paying for PTPTN when I'm 50 years old.
Regarding this part of your calculation: monthly payment : 550 | ujrah = 50.00 | principal = 500
My monthly payment is RM 327.44 with RM 56.45 is Ujrah. Even when I pay every month RM 500, Ujrah amount is still the same.
