If I take it, how will it affect my loan?
Your loan interest will NOT be compounded, but still accrue.(What's that??)
This means, the total amount you pay will be higher (but not as high if the interest is compounded).
- Example: for a 9 -year car loan, RM80,000, interest 2.5%, your monthly payment is RM907.41 per month. This means that the total monthly payment paid is RM98,000.
- If you take the moratorium now, depending on your current loan balance, the total installments paid will exceed RM98,000.
Our conclusion, TAKE - if your finances are affected and need money for daily needs.
Do not take - if you are not affected. Let's help!
Take it - if you are confident enough that you can invest elsewhere with a consistent return and better than your loan interest rate.
This Week's Definition: Compounded Profits
Year 1 you make a profit - calculated on your balance.
Year 2 you make a profit - calculated on your balance + profit in year 1.
Year 3 you make a profit - calculated on your total balance + profit in year 1 + profit in year 2.
And so on.
