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 3.88% AIR and 5 years tenure
Interest payable: S$10,000 loan x 3.88% pa AIR x 5-year tenure = S$1,940

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.

Assuming that you are taking up a loan at $5,000 at 3.88% p.a. for 2 years (EIR 8.20% p.a. inclusive of 1% processing fee), your monthly instalment will come up to be about $224.50 and there will be no change to it throughout the tenure of the loan*.

Monthly interest and principal are apportioned differently; in the earlier instalments, a larger portion of your monthly instalment goes towards paying off the interest on the loan. The interest portion will be reduced gradually with each instalment (see below for the repayment schedule illustration).

Note: The above table is meant for illustration. Actual figures may vary.

* The final instalment amount may vary slightly.

The interest rate and processing fee offered to you is based on your personal credit and income profile. Hence, it may differ from the published rate and the rate offered to other borrowers. E.g. if your annual income is below $30,000 and you are eligible for the loan, you will be offered a rate of 11.00%p.a. + 4% processing fee (E.I.R. 20.01%p.a.^).

^E.I.R. is calculated based on a 5-year loan.

1 DBS may grant such credit limit at its discretion, which may differ from what is requested

2 E.I.R: Effective Interest Rate – based on 60-months loan tenure and inclusive of 1% processing fee (for Applied Interest Rate: 3.88% p.a.)
E.I.R. is the true cost of your loan, which is higher than the Applied Interest Rate because the same rate is applied throughout the loan period, based on the original loan amount.

3 DBS will only process applications that meet the bank's internal requirements. Please note that there is a downtime daily from 11.45PM to 8.00AM and application will be pending status during downtime.
