Definition

This indicator enables you to take interest losses in the form of grace interest into account when a scheduled repayment is settled before the payment date.

Example: Annuity loan with immediate repayment settlement

Case 1: Payment at start of period

Due date    Saturday, 03/15

Payment date    Monday, 03/17

Settlement date    Monday, 03/17

In this case, there is no grace interest.

Case 2: Payment at end of period

Due date    Saturday 03/31

Payment date    Monday, 04/02

Settlement date    Saturday, 03/31

If the grace interest indicator is set, the interest payment is increased to account for the grace interest relating to the repayment from 04/01 to 04/02. The repayment amount is reduced accordingly.

Note: You can also apply the grace interest method for installment repayments.
