R=P x r / (1–1/(1 +r)n), Where:
R - Monthly loan payment
P - Loan principal amount
n - Total number of loan payments for the entire loan period (in months)
r – Monthly interest rate, equal to 1/12 of the annual interest rate specified in the loan agreement at the time of disbursement
The calculation of the outstanding loan balance in monthly payments is done using:
Pt = R x ((1-1/(1+r)n ) / r, Where:
Pt - Actual outstanding loan balance at the end of period t
R - Monthly loan payment
t - Number of payments remaining until the end of the loan term (in months)
r – Monthly interest rate, equal to 1/12 of the annual interest rate specified in the loan agreement.
The annual effective interest rate is then calculated based on this formula.
i – Annual Percentage Rate (APR) / effective annual interest rate
A – Credit amount / the initial amount of credit provided to the borrower by the lender
n – Number of the payment directed towards loan repayment
N – Number of the final payment directed towards loan repayment
Kn – Amount of the n-th payment directed towards loan repayment
Dn – Time period from the credit disbursement date to the date of the n-th repayment, expressed in days
i – Annual effective interest rate, which can be calculated if the other parameters of the equation are known from the credit agreement or other sources
Example of Calculating Annual Effective Interest Rate (APR)
1) Unsecured consumer loan example:
- Loan amount: 500,000 AMD
- Nominal annual interest rate: 12.5%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Monthly service fee: 2.0%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Loan term: 12 months
- Repayments: Monthly equal payments (annuity)
- No other payments from the customer
The annual effective interest rate (APR) for the above-mentioned loan will be 42.83%.
2) Example of a Loan Secured by a Guarantee:
- Loan amount: 1,000,000 AMD
- Nominal annual interest rate: 20.5%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Monthly service fee: 1.8%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Loan term: 30 months
- Repayments: Monthly equal payments (annuity)
- No other payments from the customer:
- One-time loan account service fee at the time of loan disbursement (1% of the loan amount) – 10,000 AMD.
The annual effective interest rate (APR) for the above-mentioned loan will be 52.34%.
3) Example of a Loan for Vehicle Purchase:
- Loan amount: 2,000,000 AMD
- Nominal annual interest rate: 24%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Loan term: 24 months
- Repayments: Monthly equal payments (annuity)
- No other payments from the customer:
- One-time vehicle appraisal fee: 10,000 AMD
- One-time notary fee for collateral: 13,000 AMD
- One-time police registration fee: 5,000 AMD
- One-time loan account service fee at loan disbursement (2% of the loan amount): 40,000 AMD
- Annual insurance fee: 2.5% of the outstanding loan balance
4) Example of a Loan Secured by Real Estate:
- Loan amount: 5,000,000 AMD
- Nominal annual interest rate: 20%, calculated on the declining loan balance
- Loan term: 60 months
- Repayments: Monthly equal payments (annuity)
- Additional one-time payments from the customer:
- Real estate appraisal fee: 15,000 AMD
- Certificate on encumbrances: 10,000 AMD
- Notarization of collateral agreement: 15,000 AMD

For any questions related to your credit history, you can also contact the Company directly by submitting a written request. The Company will provide a written response within 10 business days from the date of receiving your request.
The purpose of the score is to help the Company assess how risky it is to grant a loan to the customer. Each type of SCORE has its own scoring range, and the closer a customer’s score is to the maximum threshold, the higher the likelihood of obtaining a loan. A high SCORE indicates low risk, while a low SCORE indicates high risk.
To assess loans, the Company uses an internal creditworthiness/loanworthiness assessment system and/or the FICO score.
The calculation details of the internal assessment system are considered trade secrets.
However, several factors that influence the SCORE can be noted:
- Customer’s loan repayment history: Past repayments and their patterns can affect the SCORE.
- Size and number of loans: The amount and number of loans can have both positive and negative effects on the SCORE.
- Progress of the credit history: How consistently the customer has made payments can positively or negatively influence the SCORE.
- Existence of overdue loans.
- Frequency and number of delays, their classification, and the total number of overdue days.
- Income, and other factors.
- Additionally, credit history inquiries can affect the credit SCORE (potentially lowering it), which in turn may influence the Company’s decision to grant a loan and could be a reason for a negative decision.
Factors influencing the FICO score include the various types of credit obtained and responsibly repaid by the customer (consumer loan, mortgage, etc.). Delinquent repayments during the loans and credit history, the number of loans repaid, income level, and work experience also positively affect the history.
The negative impact on the FICO score arises from existing delays in loan payments, credit burden, and the number and frequency of new credit applications. The analytical forms developed by the organization are based on the customer’s behavioral and qualitative indicators. By making timely monthly payments, reducing the number of new credit applications, guarantees provided, and credit burden, the customer can improve their FICO score.
Detailed information about the FICO score and its calculation can also be obtained through the ACRA_Fico and ABCFinance_Score links.
