A debit order for monthly installments for the loan from GP Bank , R2000 and R200 interest is included in the amount. Interest on the loan is capitalized? What does this mean, full explanation?

When interest on a loan is capitalized, it means that the interest is added to the principal amount of the loan. In this case, the monthly installment of R2000 includes both the repayment of the principal amount borrowed and the interest charged on the loan.

For example, if you borrowed R10,000 with an interest rate of 10% per annum, the monthly installment of R2000 would include a portion of the principal amount (R1666.67) and the interest charged on the loan (R333.33). The interest charged on the loan is added to the principal amount, so the total amount owed increases each month.

By capitalizing the interest, the total amount owed on the loan increases over time, as the interest is added to the principal amount. This can result in a higher total cost of the loan compared to a loan where the interest is not capitalized. It is important to understand the terms of your loan agreement and how interest is calculated to ensure you are aware of the total cost of borrowing.
