Before I blogging further more about this issue, please
note the post written here is my personal view and
based on my understanding. To viewers, kindly do
correct if I’m wrong and your opinions/comments are bigheartedly accepted.
PRELUDE
Just a glimpse, I believe many of us will agree that 1% is
a better method. Yezza, 1% or 3% charges, so of coz we choose the fewer figures,
which is 1%, rite? However after I had reviewed and analyze both methods, I found
out and would like to share info that readers/applicants should take note
before decide convert to 1% Ujrah or stick to 3% Conventional rate method.
CONTENTS REVIEW
My review
here is regarding calculation method, payback period and agreement contents.
1-CALCULATION
METHOD
3% Conventional is based on REDUCING BALANCE (similar as
home loan). Meaning the 3% is depends on your balance. So, the fewer balance you have, the lesser you
pay. In other means, if the balance still in bulk, you have to pay more. 3%
calculation is based on formula below (which I print screen from PTPTN website)
or may use the loan calculator as stipulated in the PTPTN website as well.
1% Ujrah is based on FLAT RATE (similar as hire purchase/car
loan). Meaning the monthly amount you pay is the same figure (fixed) and if you
skip the monthly payment, you will be imposed on penalty as stated in the
agreement below.
1% calculation is based on formula below or may use the ujrah calculator.
Ujrah Chargers = Current Outstanding Balance x 1% a year x payback period
= RM28625 x 0.01 x 15 years
= RM4293.75
Total Payment = RM28625 + RM4293.75
= RM32918.75
Monthly payment = RM32918.75 / 180 months
= RM182.88
*Note : Current Outstanding Balance = loan principal amount + arrear amount
= RM28000 + RM 625
= RM28625
1% method is calculated based on the LATEST BALANCE (BAKI TERKINI) IN THE CURRENT YEAR
(TAHUN SEMASA). So, it will include the arrear amount (the amount which
borrowers didn’t pay for a few months or monthly payback amount is less than
the figure stated in the schedule). That is why in the case above, the figures
calculated is RM28625 not RM28000, even the loan principal is RM28000.
