The party that gives the money is known as the lender, and the party that borrows it is called the borrower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While the borrower needs to return the money after a pre-decided period, they also have to pay a charge for the money. This charge is known as interest. The repayments include the amount taken as a loan and the interest charge. The borrower must discuss the interest rate with the lender before borrowing and accepting other terms and conditions. You may use a loan calculator to understand your monthly repayments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lenders can be of different types. Mostly, people go to banks for loans and must make repayments as per the schedule. However, you may also contact your friends and family for a loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-advanced-heading uagb-block-4c23f2d9\"><h2 class=\"uagb-heading-text\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Loan-Main-Highlights\"><\/span><strong>Loan &#8211; Main Highlights&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>A loan is an obligation of repayment of money from one party to another party.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a loan, a bank will check your income and debt levels before approving the application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When you take a loan from a financial institution, you must pay the pre-decided instalments, including the principal amount and the interest.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>There are different types of loans, and you must assess your requirements before selecting the type.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Interest-on-loans\"><\/span><strong>Interest on <\/strong><strong>loan<\/strong><strong>s<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you decide to draw a loan, you must be aware of the financial implications that come along with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The interest rates impact the final amount you must repay the bank\/borrower. The total repayment amount is calculated by adding the principal amount, i.e., the amount of loan you take along with interest charged by the bank. The final amount is then broken down into monthly payments, which you must pay to the bank.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you take a loan of Rs. 10,000 for a year, and the bank charges a 10% annual interest rate, your final repayment amount would be Rs. 11,000 (Rs. 10,000 (Principal) + Rs. 1,000 (Interest)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, the interest can be of two types \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickertape.in\/glossary\/simple-interest\/\">simple interest<\/a> and compound Interest. Let&#8217;s understand how both are calculated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you take a loan of Rs. 3,00,000 from a bank at a 15% simple interest (per year), you will have to pay the bank Rs. 3,45,000 at the end of your loan tenure. Rs. 45,000, i.e., 15% of Rs. 3,00,000, is the amount of simple interest that you need to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, banks don&#8217;t follow this method of charging interest. They follow the concept of compound interest, where you must also pay interest on your interest payments as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, for the first year, the borrower owes an amount equivalent to the principal plus interest. However, for the second year, the amount becomes principal plus the first year&#8217;s interest and interest on the total amount.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s take an example to understand it better. Suppose you have borrowed Rs. 3,00,000 at a 10% compound interest. At the end of the first year, the amount due will be Rs. 3,30,000 (Rs. 3,00,000 as principal and Rs. 30,000 as interest).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, in the 2nd year, the 10% interest will be calculated on the amount at the end of the 1st year, i.e., on Rs. 3,30,000. Hence, the amount due at the end of the 2nd year is Rs. 3,63,000 as Rs. 3,30,000 becomes the new principal, and Rs. 33,000 is the interest.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Types-of-loans\"><\/span><strong>Types of loans<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several types of loans out there.
