How are finance charges calculated?
On a simple interest contract, finance charges are calculated based on the unpaid principal
balance of the contract. As each payment is made, the payment amount is applied toward
the finance charges that have accrued since the last payment was received. The remaining
portion of the payment is applied in accordance with the terms of your contract.
Finance charges accrue daily based on the unpaid principal balance. For example, if the
unpaid principal balance on your account is $19,737.71, your Annual Percentage Rate (APR)
is 9% and your normal monthly payment amount is $415.17, your daily finance charge amount
is calculated as follows:
(Unpaid principal balance x APR) /
=
Number of days in a year
($19,737.71 x .09) / 365
=
Daily finance
charge amount
(also called per diem)
$4.8668
If we received your payment 28 days from the date we received your last payment, your
finance charge for that period would be $136.27 ($4.8668 x 28). Finance charges are
paid first and the remainder of the payment is applied in accordance with the terms of your
contract. Your payment would be distributed as follows:
Finance Charges
$136.27
Principal
$278.90
Total
$415.17
For your next payment, the new unpaid principal balance would be $19,458.81 ($19,737.71 $278.90). The daily finance charge amount is calculated as follows:
$4.7981
If we received your payment 31 days from the date we received your last payment, your
finance charge for that period would be $148.74 ($4.7981 x 31). Your payment would be
distributed as follows:
Finance Charges
$148.74
Principal
$266.43
Total
$415.17
The timing of your payments will vary the finance charges you owe. The earlier you make
your payments before the due date, the less finance charges you should owe. The later you
make your payments after they are due, the greater the finance charges. This illustrates the
importance of making payments on time.
For example, in the last example, if we receive and apply your payment 31 days from the
date we received your last payment, your finance charges for that period would be $148.74
($4.7981 x 31) and your payment would be distributed as follows:
Finance Charges
$148.74
Principal
$266.43
Total
$415.17
However, if we receive and apply your payment 28 days from the date we received your last
payment, your finance charges for that period would be $134.35 ($4.7981 x 28) and your
payment would be distributed as follows:
Finance Charges
$134.35
Principal
$280.82
Total
$415.17
Similarly, if you send in extra principal payments, you may reduce the finance charges you
pay over the term of your contract, assuming you continue to make your normal monthly
payment on or before the scheduled due date throughout the life of your finance contract.
It is important to remember that finance charges are calculated on your declining principal
balance. Your daily finance charge declines as your principal balance declines.
In addition, your last payment will probably be different from the amount disclosed in your
contract. The amount of your final payment will depend on your payment history throughout
the term of your contract. If you consistently pay early or make additional principal payments,
your last payment should be lower. If you pay late, your last payment should be higher.

There is no prepayment penalty if you want to pay off the simple interest contract prior to
the original maturity date. An early payoff requires that the current unpaid principal balance
be paid plus the interest due from the date of the last payment until the payoff date, plus all
other amounts due and owing under your contract.
You will not receive a refund of finance charges if you pay off the contract early. On a simple
interest contract, you pay finance charges on the principal balance for each day the account
is open. If the contract is paid off early and the account is closed, no future finance charges
are required. You will receive a refund if the amount you forward to Toyota Financial Services
as a payoff exceeds the total amount owing on your contract at the time of payoff.
