How to calculate bank loan interest most accurately

The way to calculate bank mortgage interest depends on the interest calculation method applied by the bank. Currently, the common method of calculating mortgage interest of banks is to pay principal and interest monthly. The calculation is as follows:

Total monthly payment = Monthly interest payment + Total monthly principal payment.

In there:

Monthly Principal = Initial Loan Amount ÷ Number of Loan Months

First month interest = Initial loan amount x Monthly interest rate

2nd month interest = (Initial loan amount - Principal paid) x Monthly interest rate

Similarly, from the 3rd month onwards, interest will be calculated on the remaining balance.

How to choose the most beneficial bank loan term?

To choose the most beneficial bank loan term, customers need to consider the following factors:

Financial capacity: You need to consider your financial capacity to ensure that you can repay the loan on time. If your financial capacity is limited, you should choose a shorter loan term to reduce the amount of interest you have to pay.

Loan purpose : Customers need to determine the loan purpose to choose the appropriate loan term. If the loan purpose is for shopping or consumption, a shorter loan term should be chosen. If the loan purpose is for investment, customers can choose a longer loan term to have time to repay the debt.
