Understanding the Results
Flat vs Reducing rate
Form of Calculation
The flat rate calculates the profit or interest on the total principal amount. In the Reducing rate calculation, the profit or interest is accrued under a diminishing rate based on the outstanding loan amount.
Comparison Rate
Under the flat rate, the profit or interest is calculated on a fixed percentage compared to a reducing rate. The flat rate equals a higher reducing rate.
Calculations
The flat rate is much simpler to calculate than the reducing rate.
