Poistumisprosentit

Poistumisprosentit, a Finnish financial term, refers to the rate at which a loan is repaid ahead of schedule. In essence, it is a measure of how much of the loan balance is paid off through prepayment, expressed as a percentage of the original loan amount. This concept is often used in the context of mortgage financing, where borrowers may make lump sum payments or regular extra payments to reduce their debt burden.

In a situation where a borrower repays more than the scheduled amount, the outstanding balance is reduced, and the lender benefits from receiving the prepayment before the scheduled due date. The poistumisprosentit is calculated by dividing the total amount prepaid by the original loan amount, and then converting the result to a percentage.

Poistumisprosentit is also known as prepayment percentage or prepayment return. It provides a clear picture of the impact of prepayment on the loan agreement, allowing borrowers to evaluate the benefits of early repayment and lenders to manage their risk exposure.

For borrowers, a higher poistumisprosentit can indicate that they are able to pay off the loan more quickly, resulting in lower interest costs over the life of the loan. For lenders, it can indicate a stable and creditworthy borrower. However, prepaying a loan may also incur penalties or fees, depending on the loan contract. As such, borrowers should carefully review their loan terms before making any prepayment.

The concept of poistumisprosentit is widely used in the Finnish financial sector, where it is seen as a key indicator of loan repayment performance.
