How to calculate the total closing fee for a debt account?

The total closing fee can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Closing Fee (TCF) is given by:

§§ TCF = \left( \frac{D \times r \times t}{12} \right) + A §§

where:

  • § TCF § — total closing fee
  • § D § — total debt (the principal amount)
  • § r § — interest rate (as a percentage)
  • § t § — closing term (in months)
  • § A § — administrative fees

This formula calculates the total cost of closing an account by adding the interest accrued over the closing term to any administrative fees.

Example:

  • Total Debt (§ D §): $1000
  • Interest Rate (§ r §): 5%
  • Closing Term (§ t §): 12 months
  • Administrative Fees (§ A §): $50

Total Closing Fee:

§§ TCF = \left( \frac{1000 \times 5 \times 12}{12} \right) + 50 = 100 + 50 = 150 §$
