What are AIR and EIR rates?

AIR – Applied Interest Rate. This is the rate used in calculating the interest payable on your loan. Interest on the Loan shall be calculated based on a flat rate basis method (simple interest) by multiplying the principal Loan amount by the specified annual Applied Interest Rate for the full tenure of the Loan.

Illustration on interest payable for a S$10,000 loan with 2.88% AIR and 5 years tenure

  • Interest payable: S$10,000 loan x 2.88% pa AIR x 5-year tenure = S$1,440

EIR – Effective Interest Rate. This is the rate that reflects the true cost of borrowing as expressed over a reducing balance basis (similar to home loans) and is useful in comparing different loans to get the best rate.
