Pre-computed Loan

Definition

• With a pre-computed loan, the interest owed over the life of the loan is calculated using a standard amortization table. Once you sign on the dotted line for this type of auto loan, you're obligated to pay back principal plus the full amount of interest that will accrue over the entire term of the loan.
