Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is an interest-only loan? An interest-only loan allows the borrower to pay only the interest for a specified period, typically 5 to 10 years. After this period, regular principal payments begin.
How is the monthly payment calculated? The monthly payment is calculated by multiplying the loan amount by the interest rate and dividing it by 100.
What happens after the interest-only period ends? After the interest-only period, you will need to start paying both principal and interest, which may cause your monthly payment to increase significantly.
Can I make principal payments during the interest-only period? Yes, you can make additional principal payments during the interest-only period, which will reduce the total amount of interest paid over the life of the loan.
