You do get a rebate and it could be calculated by a standard special formula.

The banks earned more interests on earlier years then ( more weight on it ) than later years. Diff from housing loan which is on reducing balance method.

Sorry i lost the formula. Should get back to you once I have it. Or else contact your banker to confirm.

You will definately get a rebate from bank. example if you borrow $35k nine year for 4% interest, that mean each year interest is $1400, if you early settlement for 3 year, the bank will give u rebate $4200.
However, if you have housing loan, advice to dump your money to settle the housing loan.

Are you sure ?

I do not think banks are so generous to get you back RM 4,200. Correct me if I am wrong.

No, it is quite standard according to banking practice .

They earn lot of interest during the first year ( could have considered the penalty odeli ).

My last calculation was about 5 years back, a bit old to recall.

The interest charged is based sum of digits method ( if still applicable today )

1st cal the total int = total inst - loan amount

9 yrs loan , sum of digit ( 108+107+......................+1) =5886 total digits ( using spreadsheet to cal )
18 months , sum of digit ( 108+ 107+...................+91) = 1791 digits

108 ( total months for 9 years in descending )

Int earned by your bank for 18 months would be

(a ) total int x1791/5886

therefore discount given should be total int x 4095*/5886 ( interest yet to earned by bank ).

* 5886-1791=4095

though, just paying 18 months, int earned by bank 30%,

another 70% on bal of 90 months. Bcos weightage used is descending ( sort like penalty )

Correct me if i am wrong.
