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.

This is what i get when i made early settlement of my car loan previously, the bank used the above formula to calculate the rebate on my full settlement amount.
Last time i early settle my car loan for 2 year, they discount back the 2 year interest on my full settlement amount.

I am sure you will have to pay certain penalty fee. I did that before.

From my understanding, if you made full settlement on first or second year, the bank maybe will charge u penalty (still depend on your loan T&Cs), for my case did not have any penalty charge coz my loan is already >3 years.
