ParameterValue
Loan PrincipalUGX 160,000
Loan Period180 days
APR50%
Total Service FeeUGX 160,000 × 50% ÷ 2 = UGX 40,000
Total Repayment AmountUGX 160,000 + UGX 40,000 = UGX 200,000

Repayment Options

 

OptionCalculationAmount
One-time repayment (after 180 days)Full amount dueUGX 200,000
Monthly installmentsUGX 200,000 ÷ 6 monthsUGX 33,333.33 per month

Note: The APR of 50% is applied proportionally based on the loan duration. For a 180-day loan (half a year), the effective fee is 50% ÷ 2 = 25% of the principal.
