I have attached the formula provided on Hong Leong Finance website. If you are not too mathematically inclined, you can just call your finance company to ask for the amount if you pay early. You can be sure that the amount will be less than (total loan amount - Total amt paid so far).

Q3: How do you explain the interest rebate calculation using the Rule of 78 method?
Aa3: Interest Rebate Calculation:
The interest rebate calculation is based on the below formula:

- Interest Rebate (R) = n(n+1) X TC / t(t+1) where R = Term Charges Rebate, n = unexpired term ( in months ), t = total repayment period, TC = Term Charges

For example:
- Amount Finance = S$100,000, Interest rate = 2.7% p.a. flat rate, Loan (number of yrs) = 7 yrs (84 mths), Hirer full settles after 5 yrs, unexpired hiring period is 2 yrs or 24 mths

Thus, interest rebate is computed as follows:- Interest Rebate (R) = 24(24+1) X (S$100,000 X 2.70% X 7) / 84(84+1) = S$1,588.26

I guess for our cars, we fall under the Hire purchase act. We need to first work out the total amount payable to bank.

 

Let’s assume some numbers here: Car loan is $50,000, Loan period is 7 years, interest p.a is 2.2% and you are repaying after 5 years

 

Original Car loan                                                           $50,000

Add interest                                                                  $7,700    

Principal + interest                                                        $57,700

Less: Installments paid                                                  $41214.29

Less: rebate of unearned interest (rule 78)                       $647.06

 

Total amount payable to bank to fully redeem car    

loan:  $15838.95 

 

Well, whether you need to folk out additional cash depends on whether your car has breakeven or not. You do not have to top-up any cash for the transaction if the paper value of car (COE rebate + OMV rebate) and interest redemption is able to cover the outstanding amount. If you redeem the loan before the so-called break-even, this means you'll have to pay cash upfront to cover the outstanding amount.

Calculation of redemption balance upon

Parf Rebate	$10,727.00
Add: COE rebate	$8,991.00
Add: Rule of 78 Rebate	$647.06
Less: Outstanding loan	$15,838.66
If >$0, no additional payment require	$4,526.40

 

Positive amount means no additional cash require

Negative amount means need to folk out additional cash.

Redeption penalty is based on your contract with your finance company. So do check your contract ;). I have formulated a table for this particular exercise to easy calculation of all numbers (Let’s hope I never make any mistakes on the formula :P). Give me your email if you require the spreadsheet
