-
- Specific calculation example
- A case of new use of revolving payment for JPY 100,000 on January 1
-
- Initial service charges: JPY 100,000 × 18.00% ÷ 365 days × 22 days = JPY 1,084
- Appropriation of principal: JPY 5,000 - JPY 1,084 = JPY 3,916
-
- Second time
- Use balance: JPY 96,084 The relevant month’s repayment amount: JPY 5,000
- Appropriation of service charges: JPY 96,084 × 18.00% ÷ 365 days × 28 days = JPY 1,326
- Appropriation of principal: JPY 5,000 – JPY 1,326 = JPY 3,674
- *Fractions will be included in the final repayment amount.
- *This is an ordinary example that does not consider cases in which the payment date (the prescribed date each month) is a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday, and it differs from the use details.
