Simple Interest Loan vs Pre-Computed Loan

A simple interest loan allows you to reduce the amount of your monthly payment if you pay more than the specified amount. With a pre-computed loan your scheduled monthly payment will not change if you pay more.

Simple Loan

A simple loan is not compounded, the principal is determined by the outstanding balance. You pay a set monthly amount plus interest based on the balance of the original sum lended. Anytime you are able to pay more, the monthly amount will be less going forward as you pay down the loan.

Pre-Computed Loan

The interest rate for a pre-computed loan is calculated up front. They are fixed and there is no reduction in the amount if you pay more at any given time. If you are able to pay off the loan early, you’ll receive a refund on the pre-calculated interest.
