What salary do you need to afford a Mercedes-Benz?

Monthly income – To work out how much you need to earn to “afford” an entry-level C-Class, we first need to calculate what it will cost to buy using a vehicle finance plan. The new C200 starts at R856,080, and we can place its selling price in the formula below.

• Car Price – R856,080
• Payment Term – 60 terms (5 years)
• Interest – 9%
• Deposit – 10%
• Balloon – No balloon payment
• Extras – No optional extras

The result is a monthly car finance payment of R16,080. The total interest you will pay back over the duration of the five-year agreement is R189,450.

• We can now calculate how much you need to earn to “afford” the Mercedes-Benz C-Class.
• Financial experts recommend that car buyers do not spend more than 20% of their gross monthly salary on vehicle payments.
• This means you must receive a monthly income of R80,400 to afford buying the new C-Class.
• It must be noted that this calculation excludes fuel costs and insurance premiums, as well as related costs like replacing tyres and out-of-plan services and repairs.

What is step-up and step-down loan?

Step up and Step down Repayment Plan for Home Loan A home loan is a long term relationship between the borrower and lender. Due to it being a secured loan type, the lender offers customized repayment solutions which can help reduce EMI burden off the borrower. There are many flexible repayment plans of which the step-up and step-down are very popular.

What is a step-up repayment plan? A step-up repayment plan will see the EMI component increasing with each year of the home loan tenure. In this plan, the borrower pays a smaller EMI in the initial years of the home loan and as the tenure reaches the midpoint, EMI will begin to get higher until the last year of the home loan.

This plan is good for individuals whose salary/income increases surely each year. What is a step-down repayment plan? A step-down repayment plan will see the EMI component decrease with each year of the home loan tenure. In this plan, the borrower pays a higher EMI in the initial years of the home loan and as the tenure reaches the midpoint, EMI will begin to decrease until the last year of the home loan.

This plan is good for individuals who are nearing retirement. Since in the initial employment years, they can afford to pay higher EMI and as they near retirement, they can pay lower EMI. This plan also fits cases where joint home loan is taken. Children and parents can take this loan and continue with home loan repayments.

Are these the only options? No. There are more such options. Usually, individuals are unaware of repayment options and hence we at Ruloans want to create awareness with regards to repayment options. Choose the type of repayment which fits your financial plan.
