Higher interest rates can change your next monthly payment

When your fixed-rate period ends, the new interest rate and your remaining balance determine how much you may pay each month.

  • In the sample calculation, a 1% repayment rate increases the monthly payment by around 82%.

  • A lower remaining balance generally makes the next financing period easier to plan.

  • Comparing early gives you more time to review suitable rates and repayment options.
