5. Red book mortgage interest rate and how to calculate interest

Red book mortgage interest rates range from 6% - 12%/year (this is the reference interest rate). The specific interest rate for each customer will vary depending on many factors, such as:

  • Customer's financial situation: Customers with stable income and good credit history often enjoy more preferential interest rates.
  • Bank policy: Each bank has its interest rate policy, which can change over time and depends on each loan product.
  • Policy of the State Bank: Decisions on the base interest rate of the State Bank will directly affect the lending interest rates of commercial banks.
  • Customer profile: Value of collateral, loan purpose, loan term,... are also important factors affecting interest rates.

Currently, banks are applying different types of interest rates (fixed, floating and mixed) and have many different interest calculation methods (according to decreasing outstanding balance, according to principal outstanding balance).

In there:

  • Fixed interest rate: The interest rate does not change throughout the loan term.
  • Floating interest rate: Interest rates change according to the market, usually calculated by adding the bank's base interest rate with a certain margin.
  • Mixed interest rate: Combining both fixed and floating interest rates, often applying fixed interest rates in the beginning and switching to floating interest rates later.

How to calculate interest rate

  • According to decreasing outstanding balance: This is the most popular calculation method today. Interest is calculated on the remaining loan balance after each payment period. Because the debt balance gradually decreases over time, the amount of interest payable also gradually decreases.
  • Formula to calculate interest rate: 

Monthly payment amount = Principal divided equally by month + Interest calculated on the remaining loan balance

In there:

  • First period interest = Loan amount x Interest period interest rate / 12
  • Interest in the following periods = Outstanding debt x Interest period interest rate / 12

Give specific examples:

You borrow a red book mortgage of 100,000,000 VND, fixed interest rate of 8%/year, 12-month term, monthly installments. Then the amount of interest and principal you need to pay each month is as follows:

  • First period interest: 100,000,000 x 8% / 12 = 666,667 VND. Total interest and principal for the first period is: 666,667 + 100,000,000 /12 = 8,333,333. Total principal and interest of the first period is: 8,333,333 + 666,667 = 9,000,000,000
  • Outstanding debt after period 1: 100,000,000 - 8,333,333 = 91,666,667 VND
  • Interest period 2: 91,666,667 x 8% / 12 = 611,111 VND

Subsequent periods will be calculated similarly, and after each period your interest amount will gradually decrease corresponding to the remaining loan balance.
