Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q. What about interest-only repayment?
- A. Interest-only repayment means paying only interest during the term and repaying principal at maturity. Lower monthly burden but requires large lump-sum repayment at maturity, so financial planning is essential. This tool calculates based on equal amortization.
- Q. What about early repayment fees?
- A. Early repayment fees may apply when paying off the loan balance early. Typically 0.5-1.5% of the balance if repaid within 3 years of loan execution. Check your loan product terms for exact rates.
