LOAN CALCULATIONS METHOD

attahun — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 12:53:57 +0800

Calling all finance sifus, hope you care to help this poor soul search for answers...

Am trying to look for info on how bank loans are calculated, kinda confused. For instance since there are many loan available nowadays like flexi loans, conventional fixed loans, tiered interest loans, i dunno what else there are..

hope somebody can point me to a good reference point to understand these better. i had study a few calculators available online but not enough info, there are ammortization calculator, fixed interest calculator, adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) calculator, variable interest rate calculators and a whole lot which gets me confused. Also no proper explanation on how to use which for which.

Hopefully some sifu would be kind to summarize (in layman term) something like below:-

1. Car loan how bank calculate and what type available
2. Personal loan how to calculate
3. Home loan how to calculate (i think this one most complicated)

Thanks for any help and any directions given.

Data Recovery Software..

Hi, need some input from anybody who have used data recovery software before? If you have, please share your experience, data recovered, software used and price of software.

Problem is a friend had wanted to re-install his computer, asked a friend to install windows then only realized the friend had actually formatted his harddisk to install the windows.. So my friend had lost important data which he stored in the same partition (his friend just formatted the disk without checking with him).

Now he needs to recover the data and looking for reliable software. FREE reliable software most preferable. Let me know if anyone've used these 'data recovery software' and are they any good?

Thanks a lot for your help!
