To repay a loan of ₱25,000 on a salary of ₱45,000, you'll want to structure payments so that they are sustainable and within your budget. Here's how to approach it:
Step 1: Determine your disposable income
Salary: ₱45,000
Estimated essential expenses (rent, food, utilities, transport, etc.): Let's assume ₱25,000
Disposable income: ₱45,000 - ₱25,000 = ₱20,000 (this is what you could possibly use for debt repayment)
Step 2: Choose repayment period
The shorter the period, the higher the payments but the less interest you’ll pay (if there's interest).
Option 1: Weekly payments
If you want to pay it in 10 weeks, that’s:
₱25,000 / 10 = ₱2,500 per week
That's ₱10,000 per month on average, which may be manageable
Option 2: Monthly payments
If you want to repay it in 3 months, that’s:
₱25,000 / 3 = ₱8,333 per month
Or over 5 months:
₱25,000 / 5 = ₱5,000 per month
Step 3: Match to your budget
With ₱20,000 of possible repayment room monthly, here are realistic plans:
Recommendation
Best balance: Repay in 3 months, at ₱8,333/month if cash is tight some months, go for 5 months (ksh.5,000/month)
