Frequently asked questions
Amortization is how a loan is paid down over time. Early payments are mostly interest; later payments are mostly principal. The total monthly payment (EMI) stays the same, but the split shifts.
Interest is charged on the remaining balance. When the balance is large (early in the loan), the interest portion of each payment is large. As the balance falls, the interest portion shrinks and the principal portion grows.
Extra payments go straight to principal, which reduces the balance interest is calculated on next month. This compounds — a small extra each month can shave years and tens of thousands of AED off a 25-year mortgage.
Reducing balance. This is the standard for UAE mortgages, personal loans and car loans regulated by the Central Bank of UAE. Flat-rate loans (mostly car dealers) are quoted differently — use the Car Loan calculator's flat-vs-reducing toggle for that.
Yes, but most UAE banks charge an early-settlement fee — typically 1% of the outstanding balance, capped at AED 10,000 under CBUAE consumer protection regulations. Check your loan agreement.
