If you close your loan early than anticipated, the majority of banks impose a prepayment penalty. Either the current loan balance or the interest the lender will lose as a result of pre-closure is used to determine the penalty amount, which is expressed as a percentage. The pre-payment penalty typically ranges from 2% to 5% of the total loan amount. Lenders may charge different amounts.
Please keep in mind that your loan agreement contains comprehensive information on the pre-payment penalty and the criteria associated with it. Before signing the agreement, make sure you have read it carefully.
You can attempt to avoid paying the pre-payment penalty in one of two ways. Find a lender that does not impose a pre-closure penalty first. Second, choose a lender who will let you pay off your loan with no penalties at a certain point in the term.
