Downpayment mainly reduces monthly payments, not total interest.
Hello! I’m looking at a financing option (12-month term), and I expected na bigger drop sa interest with a higher downpayment since ang loan amount is significantly lower, but the difference is very small lang.
- 25% DP → 17.34% total interest
- 50% DP → 16.69% total interest
- Difference: about 3.75% less interest
Even though the DP gap is large, yung interest barely changed.
Is this because they use a flat or add-on interest system instead of being based sa remaining principal?
Would appreciate any insights from y'all. TIA
