Frequently Asked Questions

1. How do I get an accurate loan early settlement figure?

To get a precise figure, you should always contact your bank for an official "redemption statement" or "early settlement quotation." Our calculator provides a close estimate to help you plan, but the bank's final amount may include specific fees or charges.

2. What is the "Rule of 78" and how does it affect my personal loan?

The "Rule of 78" is a formula that front-loads interest payments, meaning you pay a larger portion of the total interest in the early years of a flat-rate loan. If your loan uses this method, an early settlement calculator will show you a smaller interest rebate than a reducing balance loan.

3. Why is an Ibra' rebate a key feature of Islamic financing in Malaysia?

Ibra' is a rebate that Islamic banks in Malaysia are required to grant to customers who settle their financing early. This reduces the total outstanding amount. It's an important principle of Islamic finance that ensures fairness by not penalizing you for paying off your debt sooner.

4. Can I save money by making extra payments instead of a full settlement?

Yes, absolutely! Making extra payments, even small ones, can significantly reduce your total interest paid and shorten your loan tenure over time. Our calculator helps illustrate this by showing the savings of a full lump-sum payment.

5. What should I check in my loan agreement before settling my loan early?

Always check for any early settlement fees, lock-in periods, or notice periods. Some banks may charge a penalty for an early settlement, which could offset your interest savings. It's smart to review these terms before you decide to pay off your loan.
