REPRODUCIBLE CALCULATION

Follow the intermediate result.

01

3.5% payment

Formula or rule: Standard equal-payment formula

Result: About ₩2,155,415 per month

02

5.0% payment

Formula or rule: Same principal and term

Result: About ₩2,576,744 per month

03

Monthly difference

Formula or rule: ₩2,576,744 − ₩2,155,415

Result: About ₩421,329

04

First-year cash difference

Formula or rule: ₩421,329 × 12

Result: About ₩5,055,948

DECISION READING

What the result means.

A property can fit at one assumed rate and fail the same household budget at another. APT should therefore expose the rate as an editable assumption rather than burying it inside a score.

SENSITIVITY

What could change the answer.

  • Shorter terms usually raise the monthly payment while reducing total interest.
  • A larger cash contribution reduces both payments, but ties up more capital.
  • Actual products can use different repayment structures, fees, and rate-reset rules.

BOUNDARIES

What this case does not prove.

  • The calculation assumes a constant nominal rate for the full term.
  • It excludes fees, insurance, early repayment, and lender-specific schedules.
  • The two rates are scenarios, not current offers.
