How the math works

Hire-purchase ("เช่าซื้อ") loans use a flat interest model — interest is calculated on the original principal for every year, not on the declining balance.

  1. 01

    Loan principal

    Loan = Price − DownPayment
  2. 02

    Total interest (flat)

    TotalInterest = Loan × FlatRate × Years
  3. 03

    Monthly installment

    Monthly = (Loan + TotalInterest) / (Years × 12)
  4. 04

    Approximate effective rate

    EffectiveRate ≈ FlatRate × 1.85

    Industry rule of thumb (true effective rate depends on amortization).
