Fee Accrual for Prepaid Fees
CL Loans provides the option of accruing a prepaid fee. So, the income for fees that is collected upfront can be realized throughout the life of the loan.
The frequency of the accrual can be either Daily or Month End.
Supported fee accrual methods
Straight line method
The Straight line method calculation is a simple division of the total prepaid fee to be accrued by the total number of terms to be spread over.
Example:
| Fee to be Accrued | Accrual Terms | Fee Accrued per Term |
|---|---|---|
| 100 | 20 | 100/20=5 |
IRR method
In IRR method the fee accrued over the terms is not equal and depends on the interest for the period, and the interest accrued per term.
Example:
| Terms | Total Fee Accrued | Interest for the Period | Interest Accrued | Fee Accrued per Term |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Term 1 | 100 | 150 | 80 | (80/150)*100 |
| Term 2 | 70 | (70/150)*100 |
Configuring fee accrual
To accrue a fee, you must associate it with a product and specify the method to accrue it.
These settings can be overridden at the contract level.
At the contract level you can specify additional parameters, such as Accrual Terms- the number of terms for which the fee should be accrued. This option works only with Straight Line method of accrual.
