Key Points
How do I calculate loan payoff report?
Term (in months) = [Principal Amount x Interest Rate] / (1 - [(1 + Interest Rate) ^-N])
Loan Payoff Statement
A loan payoff statement is a document that provides the amount you must pay to close the loan. It is used to pre-pay all or part of the loan balance and the amount due is calculated by the lender.
Closing Costs
Payoff statements usually include closing costs associated with the loan. These may include an origination fee, title fees, and other charges associated with closing the loan.
Interest Calculation
The payoff amount includes interest that has accrued since the last payment was made. The amount of interest is determined by the interest rate that is applied to the loan balance.
Payoff Date
The payoff statement will also include a payoff date, which is the date that the loan must be paid in full in order for the loan to be considered closed. If the payment is not received by the due date, the loan will remain open and the borrower will be subject to additional interest and fees.
Early Payoff
In some cases, a borrower may be able to pay off the loan early, which can result in a lower interest rate and a lower total payment. Check with the lender to see if early payoff is an option.
