Understand a loan before replacing it

Compare total remaining cost, replacement cost and switching fees over the same period before treating a lower rate as a saving.

My saved work

Safe next action: Open the local loan and refinance workspace. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Start with the balance still owed, not the original loan amount. Compare keeping the loan with replacing it over the same remaining months. Read the regular payment, final payment and total separately. A lower payment can come from stretching the term rather than reducing the price of borrowing. Keep an unchanged-loan scenario so that doing nothing remains a visible option.

Worked learning example

Invented same-term totals: keep the loan for ₩11,000,000, or replace it for ₩10,700,000 plus a ₩100,000 switching fee. Net reduction is ₩200,000, before any omitted costs.

Check your understanding

What must stay the same before calling the cheaper payment a saving?

Show answer and explanation

Compare the same outstanding principal and remaining term, and include every switching cost. A smaller monthly payment alone is insufficient.

Common mistake: Do not compare a short remaining loan with a longer replacement and describe the payment reduction as a total saving.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Who this is for

People using the KR educational release who want to understand a money decision before contacting a provider.

Not for

This is not a personal recommendation, provider quote, eligibility decision, tax opinion or legal opinion.

Key concepts

  • remaining total cost
  • replacement total cost
  • switching fee
  • net saving

Steps

  1. Collect the current balance, rate and remaining months.
  2. Collect the replacement rate and every switching fee in writing.
  3. Run the same-term comparison and inspect the no-saving result as carefully as a saving result.

Worked example

Invented same-term totals: keep the loan for ₩11,000,000, or replace it for ₩10,700,000 plus a ₩100,000 switching fee. Net reduction is ₩200,000, before any omitted costs.

Risks and limits

  • Do not compare a short remaining loan with a longer replacement and describe the payment reduction as a total saving.
  • Rates can change and a provider can calculate fees differently.
  • Extending the term can lower a payment while increasing total cost.

Read savings in today’s purchasing power

A maturity balance is only one view; tax, fees, inflation and early exit can change what the money is worth to you.

My saved work

Safe next action: Open the local savings purchasing-power workspace. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Read savings in three passes: money contributed, interest left after assumed costs, and purchasing power at the end. Contributions are your own money, not earnings. Next test an early withdrawal separately, because the advertised maturity rate may not survive early exit. Inflation is an assumption here; the result is not a statement about future prices or your tax treatment.

Worked learning example

With no extra contributions, an invented ₩1,000,000 becomes ₩1,040,000 after one year. At assumed inflation of 4%, that equals ₩1,000,000 in starting-year purchasing power, before tax and fees.

Check your understanding

Does a larger account balance always buy more than the starting balance?

Show answer and explanation

No. Compare the balance after costs with inflation-adjusted purchasing power and keep contributed money separate from earnings.

Common mistake: A tax percentage entered for practice does not establish the rate that applies to a real account.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Who this is for

People using the KR educational release who want to understand a money decision before contacting a provider.

Not for

This is not a personal recommendation, provider quote, eligibility decision, tax opinion or legal opinion.

Key concepts

  • gross interest
  • tax assumption
  • fees
  • real purchasing power

Steps

  1. Enter contributions, time and the stated rate.
  2. Add explicit tax, fee and inflation assumptions.
  3. Compare maturity with an early-exit scenario before choosing the next action.

Worked example

With no extra contributions, an invented ₩1,000,000 becomes ₩1,040,000 after one year. At assumed inflation of 4%, that equals ₩1,000,000 in starting-year purchasing power, before tax and fees.

Risks and limits

  • A tax percentage entered for practice does not establish the rate that applies to a real account.
  • Actual provider terms and future outcomes can differ.
  • A missing fee, tax or timing assumption can materially change the result.

Separate an investment illustration from a forecast

Use return, fee, inflation and downside assumptions to see sensitivity, never to claim what the market will deliver.

My saved work

Safe next action: Open the local investment cost and retirement illustration. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Begin with contributions and the date money will be needed. Change return, fees and inflation independently to learn which assumption drives the result. Then try a negative return and a shorter access horizon. This deterministic illustration has no probabilities and no sequence of market shocks; it cannot establish suitability, liquidity or the maximum possible loss.

Worked learning example

An invented ₩1,000,000 at +5% ends at ₩1,050,000 after one period before fees. At −20% it ends at ₩800,000. These are two inputs, not probabilities or limits on loss.

Check your understanding

Can the displayed downside be treated as the largest possible loss?

Show answer and explanation

No. It is only the outcome of one chosen assumption; other paths, fees and constraints can produce a worse result.

Common mistake: A smooth annual projection hides the order of gains, losses and withdrawals.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Who this is for

People using the KR educational release who want to understand a money decision before contacting a provider.

Not for

This is not a personal recommendation, provider quote, eligibility decision, tax opinion or legal opinion.

Key concepts

  • contribution
  • return assumption
  • fee drag
  • downside scenario

Steps

  1. Choose an amount and time horizon you can explain.
  2. Enter fees and inflation instead of looking only at headline return.
  3. Compare baseline and downside illustrations and read the non-guarantee warning.

Worked example

An invented ₩1,000,000 at +5% ends at ₩1,050,000 after one period before fees. At −20% it ends at ₩800,000. These are two inputs, not probabilities or limits on loss.

Risks and limits

  • A smooth annual projection hides the order of gains, losses and withdrawals.
  • Actual losses can exceed the displayed downside.
  • Tax, liquidity and product suitability are not assessed.

Prepare loan inputs

Use current written balance, rate, remaining months, replacement rate and all switching fees.

My saved work

Safe next action: Gather written terms before calculating. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Use one statement date for the outstanding principal and remaining term. Separate the contractual rate from promotional language and collect replacement fees in writing before comparing.

Worked learning example

A loan originally worth ₩20,000,000 now has ₩12,000,000 outstanding and 24 months remaining. Enter ₩12,000,000 and 24 months, not the original amount and original term.

Check your understanding

Which balance belongs in a remaining-cost comparison?

Show answer and explanation

Use the outstanding balance as of the comparison date; preserve that date with the scenario.

Common mistake: Mixing figures from different statement dates can make the two options incomparable.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Read monthly and final loan payments

Rounding can make the last payment slightly different, so compare total cost as well as the regular payment.

My saved work

Safe next action: Review the adjusted final payment. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Interest and principal portions change as the balance declines. Integer rounding can leave a small final adjustment, so inspect the schedule rather than multiplying a displayed rounded payment blindly.

Worked learning example

An invented zero-interest ₩1,000 balance repaid in three periods might use ₩333, ₩333 and ₩334. The adjusted final payment makes the total exactly ₩1,000.

Check your understanding

Why can the last payment differ from the regular payment?

Show answer and explanation

It reconciles the remaining balance after earlier rounding; inspect the actual final row.

Common mistake: Multiplying ₩333 by three would leave ₩1 unpaid in this illustration.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Check refinance break-even

A replacement only illustrates a saving when reduced remaining cost is greater than switching fees under the same term.

My saved work

Safe next action: Compare a no-saving outcome before acting. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Break-even is a comparison between a cost paid to switch and the reduction that remains afterward. A months-to-recovery shortcut is valid only if the monthly reduction is constant and positive.

Worked learning example

A ₩120,000 fee divided by an unchanged ₩10,000 monthly reduction is 12 months. If the arrangement ends after 6 months, only ₩60,000 has been recovered in this simplified example.

Check your understanding

What happens to recovery time when the monthly reduction is zero?

Show answer and explanation

There is no finite recovery time through monthly reductions; do not divide by zero or label it immediate payback.

Common mistake: The shortcut ignores timing, variable rates and other cash flows; use the full same-term total too.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Use safer loan alternatives

When repayments are difficult, pause new applications and ask the existing provider or an independent public service about support.

My saved work

Safe next action: Do not enter account or identity details into this service. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

A calculator cannot arrange hardship assistance. If a payment is difficult, collect the due date and a non-sensitive summary, then use the existing provider’s independently verified support route to ask what options actually exist.

Worked learning example

A fictional borrower expects a ₩50,000 shortfall next month. Writing down the due date and asking the current provider about support is different from assuming a new loan has been approved.

Check your understanding

Does this learning page submit a hardship or new-credit application?

Show answer and explanation

No. It explains preparation only and does not contact a provider or promise an outcome.

Common mistake: Do not send account numbers, identity documents or one-time codes through an unverified help channel.

Prepare savings assumptions

Separate contributions, stated rate, term, tax, fees and inflation so each effect remains visible.

My saved work

Safe next action: Start with the written product terms. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Contribution timing changes how long each deposit earns interest. Record the opening amount, whether additions happen at the start or end of a period, the term, and costs before interpreting the maturity figure.

Worked learning example

An opening ₩100,000 has a full year to earn interest. Another ₩100,000 added on the final day does not earn a full year merely because total contributions are ₩200,000.

Check your understanding

Why does a deposit date matter as much as its amount?

Show answer and explanation

Each contribution has its own time exposed to interest; the method must use the stated timing convention.

Common mistake: Do not apply the full-term rate to every contribution when deposits arrive gradually.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Read an after-tax savings result

The tax field is a user assumption, not a determination of the tax that applies to you.

My saved work

Safe next action: Confirm tax treatment with an appropriate official source or professional. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Keep assumed tax on interest separate from contributed principal and separate from fees. This teaching model does not decide exemptions, allowances or country-specific liabilities.

Worked learning example

For invented gross interest of ₩40,000 and an assumed 10% tax on that interest only, the deduction is ₩4,000 and net interest is ₩36,000 before fees.

Check your understanding

Is the assumed 10% deduction applied to all saved principal?

Show answer and explanation

Not in this example: it applies only to the ₩40,000 interest. Real treatment requires confirmation.

Common mistake: A convenient round tax input is not a Korean statutory rate or personalized tax advice.

Compare nominal and real value

Nominal balance shows currency units; real purchasing power discounts the entered inflation assumption.

My saved work

Safe next action: Try more than one inflation assumption. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Purchasing power compares amounts at a common date. For one period divide the later amount by one plus the inflation assumption; repeated periods require repeated adjustment.

Worked learning example

An invented ₩1,030,000 one year later divided by 1.03 equals ₩1,000,000 in starting-year money. The ₩30,000 nominal increase is not a real gain under that assumption.

Check your understanding

Why divide by 1.03 instead of simply subtracting 3% of the later balance?

Show answer and explanation

Division reverses a 3% price increase exactly; subtracting 3% uses a different base.

Common mistake: An average inflation assumption may not match the prices of the items a particular household buys.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Test an early savings exit

An early exit can change interest, tax, fees and access, so it needs its own scenario.

My saved work

Safe next action: Ask the provider for written early-exit terms. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Build a new scenario for the actual exit date. Do not prorate the advertised maturity result unless the provider’s written rules really use that method; penalties and alternative rates may differ.

Worked learning example

Suppose an invented exit balance before penalty is ₩1,010,000 and the entered exit penalty is ₩20,000. The amount left is ₩990,000, below the ₩1,000,000 initial contribution.

Check your understanding

Can an early-exit outcome be below the original contribution?

Show answer and explanation

Yes in an illustration with sufficient costs; verify whether the real contract permits those costs and how it calculates them.

Common mistake: A maturity rate is not automatically the rate paid on early withdrawal.

Examples are invented educational scenarios, not provider quotes, forecasts or tax rates.

Prepare investment assumptions

Use contribution, time, return, fee, inflation and spending assumptions that you can change independently.

My saved work

Safe next action: Avoid copying promotional return claims as forecasts. Open related page

Audience, steps, example, risks and evidence

Understand the reasoning

Choose inputs that can be explained independently: opening amount, periodic contribution, horizon, return, fee and inflation. Keep an input ledger so a changed result can be traced to a changed assumption.

Worked learning example

Scenario A and B both start at ₩1,000,000 for one year. Change only the fee from 0% to 1%; changing the return at the same time would obscure the fee’s effect.

Check your understanding

How do you isolate the effect of a fee assumption?

Show answer and explanation

Hold contributions, duration, return and inflation constant and vary only the fee.
