What the table says

The lowest total is Equal-principal plan: 415,344 TL. The lightest start is Grace-period plan, whose first instalment is 13,228 TL.

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 first instalments are the lowest and the total is the highest.

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 rise.

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 fall, or who wants the weight early.

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