Simple interest

Interest, normally paid annually, which is earned on deposited capital only. Unlike compound interest, the annual interest is not added to the capital. For example, if the capital deposited is £1,000 and the interest rate is £80, you would receive £80 at the end of the first year and at the end of the second year. This contrasts with compound interest, where the £80 interest earned on the first year would be added to the original capital, and the amount of money earning interest in the second year would be £1,080.00.

Simple interest

Interest only mortgages

Interest only mortgages

With an interest-only mortgage, your monthly repayments to the lender consist only of interest on the total loan amount. The interest payments will vary depending on the interest rate being charged by the lender at the time. This type of mortgage involves paying the lowest possible monthly outlay to the lender, as no capital is included in the repayment. Instead of repaying the capital, regular payments are put aside in a suitable investment or savings plan. This grows cumulatively and assumptions are made regarding its growth in order to calculate a monthly repayment figure. If you are fortunate, the investment will accumulate at a higher rate than is required to pay back your loan on time, resulting in a cash surplus at the end of the term. This is not always the case however, and sometimes there can be a cash deficit at the end of the term.
