A borrower decides to pay off a closed-end loan earlier than
originally scheduled. The amount by which the finance charge
is reduced is the unearned interest.
This software
calculates unearned interest using the rule
of 78.Rule of 78 Consider an
example. You want to purchase a new car. The car costs
$10,454. After a downpayment of $3,000, you still owe $7,454.
You agree to pay the loan off in 48 monthly payments of $200 each.
The finance charge is $2,146. After the 36th
monthly payment, you want to pay off the loan completely. The
unearned interest would be $142.34 (this is the amount you save by
paying the loan off early) and the payoff amount would be $2,457.66.
Type in the loan
amount, annual interest rate and term of loan.
Then hit the calculate button. |
