How to calculate a flat rate personal loan

Personal loans in Thailand are mostly flat rate interest, which means interest is calculated on the principal for the duration of the loan, not on the remaining amount of debt, making the total interest higher than the flat rate interest.

Flat Rate Calculator

Payments = (principal + principal × Flat Rate% × year period) ÷ number of payments

Effective Interest Rate (EIR)

EIR is an interest rate that reduces principal and interest that gives the same installments. Calculated by method Newton-Raphson To find the monthly interest rate r that makes the sum of the present value of all installments equal to the principal, generally EIR ≈ Flat Rate × 1.8

example

  • Loan 100,000 baht flat rate 10% per year, repayment 36 month
  • instalment = (100,000 + 100,000 × 10% × 3) ÷ 36 = 3,611 baht/month
  • Total interest = 30,000 baht | Total payments = 130,000 baht
  • EIR ≈ 18-19% per year
