The September 2026 fixed-rate term trade-off

A ₩300M loan stress test using HF's published September 2026 endpoint rates: 4.90% for 10 years and 5.20% for 50 years.

DECISION READING

Read the gap, not just the winner.

The 50-year endpoint cuts the scheduled payment by about 56%, but the modeled lifetime interest is about ₩462.9M higher. The lower monthly figure cannot be presented without the term and total-payment layer.

SENSITIVITY

Conditions that can reverse the gap.

  • Eligibility, age, property value, and product rules can make one term unavailable.
  • Early repayment would change the lifetime-interest comparison.
  • The two rates are official endpoint rates, not a quote for this borrower.
