Difference between Flat vs Reducing Rate
Principal: The total amount borrowed.
Profit or interest rate: The associated cost of financing either via a Sharia compliant structure or an interest bearing loan. At Funding Souq all our facilities are Sharia compliant.
Tenure: The duration over which the financing needs to be repaid.

Understanding the Results: Flat vs Reducing rate
  • Form of Calculation: The flat rate calculates the profit or interest on the total principal amount. In the Reducing rate calculation, the profit or interest is accrued under a diminishing rate based on the outstanding loan amount.
  • Comparison Rate: Under the flat rate, the profit or interest is calculated on a fixed percentage compared to a reducing rate. The flat rate equals a higher reducing rate.
  • Calculations: The flat rate is much simpler to calculate than the reducing rate.
