Questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fixed markup and interest?
A fixed markup is a set amount added to the price once, then split into equal payments: 1,200 with a 20% markup over 12 months is 1,440, or 120 a month. It is common in shop installment sales and cost-plus (murabaha) financing. Interest is charged each period on the balance still owed, so paying early costs less. The "equivalent yearly rate" shows both on the same scale.
Why is a 20% markup over a year about 35% as a yearly rate?
Because you are paying the amount back during the year, not holding all of it for the whole year. On average you owe only about half of it, so the same markup is a bigger share of what you actually owe. The equivalent yearly rate uses the standard loan formula so a markup offer and a bank rate can be compared fairly.
Is the down payment included in the markup?
No. The markup and interest are worked out on the amount after the down payment, because that is the part you pay over time. A bigger down payment means a smaller markup or less interest. Check how your seller or bank calculates it, since some apply the markup to the full price.
Why is the last payment a little different?
Payments are rounded to amounts you can actually pay (cents, or whole shillings for SOS). The small difference is added to or taken from the last payment, so the total is exactly right.
Is this financial advice?
No. It is a calculator: it shows the numbers for the terms you enter. Always confirm the final terms, fees and any penalties in writing with your seller or bank before you sign. Nothing you enter is saved or sent anywhere.
