This calculator will show the amount you can save if you make a single lump sum payment on the loan before the end of loan term. Making the payment earlier on in the loan will have a greater increase in the interest and time saved.

Assumptions:

• Interest rates remain the same for the term of the loan.
• One year is 52 weeks exactly, a month is 52/12 weeks and a fortnight is 26 weeks.
• Interest is calculated by compounding on the same frequency as the repayment stated, i.e. weekly, fortnightly or monthly.
• Repayments are made at the start of each period.
• Rounding is made at the end of the calculations and not at each payment period
• It does not take into account up-front fees and monthly/annual account fees.
• You can email your results to yourself and if you request, a copy of your results and contact information is sent to the web site owner.
• You can print your results for future reference.
• You should consult a finance professional before you make decisions based on this calculator.
