Prepayment Penalty Presence Check

Check whether a loan carries a prepayment penalty before any extra principal payment is planned. Preparation only, not an account action.

What to provide

Loan terms on prepayment penalties and the planned extra payment.

How it works

1. Read the loan terms for a prepayment penalty clause.
2. Record the penalty formula if present.
3. Compute the penalty on the planned extra payment.
4. Return the presence check without making any payment.

The output

loan | has_penalty | planned_extra | penalty_rate | penalty_amount

Worked fictional example

Fictional loan terms include a 2% penalty on prepaid amounts: a planned 5,000 extra payment would trigger 100 in penalty, so the plan is flagged before any payment.

Checks and limits

Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
