Let's compare the cheapest and most expansive package.

Example 1: Hong Leong Flexi Package (BLR-1.9%) - Cheapest
1) Interest Rate = RATE(nper,pmt,pv,fv,type)
= 12*Rate(12*10,-1020,100000,0,0) = 4.16% p.a.

2) Total Interest Paid for 10 years loan = CUMIPMT(rate,nper,pv,start_period,end_period,type)
= CUMIPMT(0.0416/12,12*10,1000
00,1,12*10,0) = -22,408.80

3) Ratio = (interest paid + principle)/principle
= (22408.80+100000)/100000 = 1.22.

Example 2: Standard Chartered - Standard Term Loan - Most Expansive
How to calculate the Standard Chartered - Standard Term Loan?
Uneven cashflow is determined in the study via XIRR.
First 1 year: RM1,022, Next 4 years: RM1,025, thereafter RM1,205. Bank always confuses his customer, and it leads to difficult way to compare with others.





1) IRR = 5.99%p.a.

2) Total Interest Paid for 10 years loan = CUMIPMT(rate,nper,pv,star
t_period,end_period,type)
= CUMIPMT(0.0599/12,12*10,1000
00,1,12*10,0) = -33164.43.

3) Ratio = (interest paid + principle)/principle
= (33164.43+100000)/100000 = 1.33.

Take your loan information e.g. PMT, loan balance, BLR+rate etc. to challenge another banker. If you are offered by another bank for a good saving of interest after re-financing, this means that perhaps you haven't optimize your previous loan. Remember, you are not working at banks, but you are working for bank...to pay the bank loan.

First step of re-engineer on your net worth statement, liability reduction contributes significant improvement on your net worth statement. You may be end up with a low net worth statement even you "own" a million dollar property by financing it via bank loan. The interest payment erodes your asset appreciation. However, if you can rent it for a promising fixed income, you may make profit out of it. XNPV and XIRR can be used to determine the minimum rental that you should receive. But, how many of us using it to determine the monthly rental income?
