    Does anyone know how a bank calculates the amount for an early settlement of a loan?

    For example;

    Loan for 10,000 over 5 Years at 6.5% APR

    Total amount repayable €11687.85

    Repayments €195 per month.

    If you settle after 2 years you've already paid €4680

    So early settlement means the interest over 2 years, rather than 5, should mean a total debt of €10670.94.

    So the settlement amount should be around €6000?

    Is this correct?

    Or do banks use a different means of calculating the settlement amount?

    Depends on the loan, copy of loan offer will probably tell you how they calculate early repayment. Straightforward variable rate loan will probably just be a case of pay off the outstanding balance now but others can be worked out to a specific formula which would vary between banks.
