Matching interest refers to a repayment method, that is, the same amount of loan (including principal and interest) is repaid every month during the repayment period. Equal principal and interest and average capital are not the same concept. Although the monthly repayment amount may be lower than that in average capital at the beginning, the interest paid in the end will be higher than that in average capital, which is also a method often used by banks.

Repayment method:

Matching principal and interest repayment method refers to the borrower's equal repayment of loan principal and interest every month, in which the monthly loan interest is calculated according to the remaining loan principal at the beginning of the month and settled every month.

The loan with equal principal and interest is calculated according to compound interest. At the settlement time of each repayment, the interest generated by the remaining principal will be calculated together with the remaining principal (loan balance), that is to say, the outstanding interest will also be calculated. In foreign countries, it is recognized as a loan method suitable for the interests of lenders.

The monthly repayment amount is unchanged, which is essentially that the proportion of principal increases month by month, the proportion of interest decreases month by month, and the number of monthly repayments remains unchanged, that is, in the distribution proportion of "principal and interest" for monthly payment, the proportion of interest paid in the first half of the year is large, and the proportion of principal is small. After more than half of the repayment period, it gradually turns into a large proportion of principal and a small proportion of interest.

The average capital loan uses a simple interest rate method to calculate interest. At the settlement time of each repayment, only the remaining principal (loan balance) is calculated, that is to say, the outstanding loan interest is not calculated together with the outstanding loan balance, only the principal is calculated.

The monthly repayment amount decreases, showing a state of decreasing month by month; It divides the loan principal equally according to the total repayment months, plus the interest of the remaining principal in the previous period, thus forming the monthly repayment amount, so the repayment amount of the average capital method is the largest in the first month, and then decreases month by month, and the less the more.

Compared with the two, in the case of the same loan term, amount and interest rate, at the initial stage of repayment, the monthly repayment amount of average capital repayment method is greater than the equal principal and interest. However, according to the whole repayment period, average capital's repayment method will save the expenditure of loan interest.

The advantage of matching principal and interest is that the monthly repayment amount is the same, which is convenient for arranging income and expenditure. Suitable for borrowers whose economic conditions do not allow early repayment and excessive investment, and whose income is relatively stable. The disadvantage is that you need to pay more interest. However, most of the advance payment is interest, and the proportion of principal will increase after half of the repayment period, which is not suitable for early repayment.

The advantage of average capital is that the total interest is less than the equal principal and interest. The repayment amount decreases every month, and the later, the easier it is. Moreover, due to the large proportion of principal and small proportion of interest, it is very suitable for early repayment. The disadvantage is that the pressure of prepayment is great, and it needs to have a certain economic foundation and can withstand the pressure of prepayment.
