PAYMENT PLANS

One loan, seven payment plans

Bankacı works out seven payment plans for a personal loan. The question a banker is actually asked is rarely “what is the instalment” — it is “which plan should this customer be on”. Below, one loan is priced with all seven; the table shows the shape each plan gives the instalment.

What the table says

The lowest total is Equal-principal plan: 396,250 TL. The lightest start is Grace-period plan, whose first instalment is 11,700 TL. They are not the same plan — one keeps the total down, the other keeps the early months easy.

Prepaid-interest plan

Part of the interest is paid on the day the loan is drawn, and the instalments that follow are lower.

Assumed in the example: 20,000 TL of interest paid up front.

Equal-principal plan

Principal is repaid in equal parts, so the instalment starts high and falls. This is usually the one with the least interest.

Custom / balloon plan

A large payment lands on a date you choose — for a customer expecting a bonus, a commission or a sale.

Assumed in the example: An extra 50,000 TL paid with instalment 12.

Grace-period plan

The first months pay interest only and the principal waits. The lightest start, the heaviest total.

Assumed in the example: No principal repaid in the first 6 instalments.

Increasing-instalment plan

The instalment climbs in steps — for a customer whose income will.

Assumed in the example: Up 5% every 6 months from instalment 7.

Decreasing-instalment plan

The instalment falls in steps — for a customer whose income will, or who wants the weight early.

Assumed in the example: Down 5% every 6 months from instalment 7.
