Calculate break-even correctly

For “Calculate break-even correctly”, total one-time switching cost ÷ monthly cash-flow saving = approximate months to recover switching cost.

Start here

For “Calculate break-even correctly”, total one-time switching cost ÷ monthly cash-flow saving = approximate months to recover switching cost. Use this only when the repayment structures are otherwise comparable. If tenure changes, compare full cash flows instead.

What applies to this exact problem

Example: verified switching costs of ₹12,000 and a ₹1,500 monthly saving on the same remaining tenure imply a simple break-even of about eight months. If the new tenure is longer, that eight-month figure is misleading because part of the EMI reduction comes from paying for more months.

Check these first

  • Use this only when the repayment structures are otherwise comparable.
  • If tenure changes, compare full cash flows instead.
  • If tenure changes, compare full cash flows instead

Fix it in this order
