Help. I tried to calculate RHB's (and other bank's) ASB loan and got mindf*cked.

I tried calculating a RM50,000 loan for 20 and 25 years.

For 25 years:

Monthly payment (inclusive of interest) : RM 294
So Full amount for 25 years is 294 x 12 x 25 = RM88,200

ASB Dividend (7.65% pa): RM50,000 x (7.65/100) x 25 = RM95,625

So Net profit = RM95,625 - 88,200 = RM7425

All good and fine, BUT when I calculate 20 years.

20 Years x 332 (monthly) x 12 (pa) = RM 79,680

ASB - 50,000 x (7.65/100) x 20 years = RM 76,500

Which means theres NEGATIVE net profit... why?

Im really confused. HELP

Nope.after 20 @ 25 years, u get back the div + principal.

In short : 25 years : rm 183,825
                  20 years : rm 156,180

Pure profit i think

its like that? means whatever I get add the principal? (meaning the RM50k or whatever the initial loan amount is?)

Hi Mikeshashimi,

Your formula for ASB Dividend is wrong. You did not take into account Compounding Interest.  doh.gif

It should calculate like this:
Year 1: RM50,000 x 7.65% = RM3825.  So total Principal + Dividend = RM53,825
Year 2: RM53,825 x 7.65% = RM4117.  Total now is RM57,942
Year 3:.......repeat the same till Year 25. (Easier if you use a spreadsheet).

Based on the example, Year 25 you will get RM315,734

At year 20, you will get RM218,399.....

Actually, if you use an example of RM200,000 and ASB dividend of 7.65% - -> you will be a millionaire in 22 years.

BUT the dividend + bonus is average at 8.5%pa - -> so RM200K ASB will grow to RM1 million in 20 years.

You are a FUTURE MILLIONAIRE  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif  rclxm9.gif

Can anyone advise if it's better to maintain an asb loan or if it's better to settle a loan that you've repaid halfway?

If u want to settle your loan, just paid using the dividend u earn so far without terminating your asb loan.

Or

Terminate your asb loan and paid your debt and reapply asb loan

Or

Like bro buggie said if u can afford to pay for both just proceed like normal because u can maximize your OPM. By the end of the day, you will settled your loan plus dividend compounding.
