Loan & EMI borrowers

You know the instalment. Do you know the balance?

Most people can recite their monthly EMI and could not tell you what they still owe, or when it ends. NetWorth+ keeps the schedule, the outstanding balance and the finish date in front of you, and subtracts the debt from your net worth where it belongs.

What is worth watching

  • InstalmentThe part everybody knows
  • Principal vs interestEarly instalments are mostly interest
  • Outstanding balanceWhat settling today would cost
  • Final paymentA date, not a vague someday

In short

NetWorth+ is a free Android app that tracks loans and EMIs as liabilities with a repayment schedule. Each loan holds its principal, rate, instalment, remaining balance and end date, and each payment splits between interest and principal so you can see the balance actually falling. The debt is subtracted from your net worth in full. It suits personal loans, car finance, home loans, education loans and instalment plans in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman and India, and it never connects to a bank or a lender.

The problem

The instalment is the only number anybody remembers

It is also the least informative one. It tells you what leaves your account and nothing about what you owe.

A loan has four numbers that matter: what you still owe, what the next instalment does to that, what the whole thing will cost by the end, and when the end is. The monthly instalment tells you none of them. It is a payment schedule, not a position.

This gets worse with several debts at once — a car loan, a phone on instalments, a furniture plan, a card balance being paid down. Individually each is manageable and collectively they are a fixed monthly obligation that nobody has ever added up.

The questions worth being able to answer

  • What would it cost to settle this loan today, as opposed to the sum of the remaining instalments
  • How much of this month's payment reduced the balance and how much was interest
  • What all my fixed obligations total each month, as one figure
  • If I put extra towards one of them, which one, and how much earlier does it end

How it handles it

The whole loan, not just this month

A real schedule

Each instalment splits into interest and principal, so you can see why the balance in year one barely moves and why year four is different. It is not intuitive and it is worth looking at.

Debt reduces net worth

The outstanding balance is subtracted from your position in full. A car that is worth less than the loan against it shows as exactly that, which is uncomfortable and correct.

Instalments that post themselves

Set the EMI as a scheduled payment and it appears in the forecast every month without being re-entered, alongside every other fixed obligation.

All obligations, one total

Car, phone, furniture, education, card. The sum of what you are committed to each month is a number most people have never seen, and it changes decisions.

In practice

Getting a loan into the ledger

1

Enter the terms from the agreement

Principal, rate, tenure, instalment and start date, taken from the loan document rather than from memory. Five minutes, once.

2

Let the debit confirm itself

When the instalment leaves your account the bank alert can be read on the device and matched to the loan, so the schedule stays in step with reality.

3

Record extra payments properly

A prepayment goes against principal and changes the end date. Enter it as one and the remaining schedule reflects it.

4

Check the end date occasionally

It is the most motivating number in the whole app and almost nobody knows theirs before they start tracking.

Reference

Four numbers, four different meanings

NumberWhat it tells youWhat it hides
Monthly instalmentWhat leaves your accountEverything about the balance
Total of remaining instalmentsThe full future cost if you run to termThat settling early usually costs less
Outstanding principalWhat you actually owe todayAny early settlement fee your bank charges
Interest paid to dateWhat the borrowing has cost so farWhat it will cost from here

Early settlement rules, fees and caps differ by lender and by country and are set by your agreement and local regulation. NetWorth+ records what you tell it and what you pay; it does not know your bank's settlement policy and does not advise on whether to prepay.

What this does not do

NetWorth+ does not lend, does not arrange finance, does not connect to your lender and does not recommend whether to borrow, refinance or settle early. It has no commercial relationship with any bank. It is a record and a schedule, and any decision about a loan belongs to you and, if the sums are large, to a qualified adviser.

Where this applies

Across the Gulf, and beyond it

Personal finance, car finance and instalment plans are widely used across the Gulf, and salary-transfer lending is common in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain and Oman. Instalment debits arrive by SMS from most banks in these markets, and the app reads the common formats, including three-decimal dinar amounts. Indian EMI alerts are handled too.

NetWorth+ also covers India, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, the United Kingdom and the United States. Currency handling is not limited to the list above — three-decimal dinars and zero-decimal currencies are treated correctly rather than being forced into two decimal places.

Questions

Good to know

Can it import my loan from the bank?
No. NetWorth+ does not connect to any lender. You enter the terms once from your loan agreement, which is also a useful exercise — a surprising number of people discover their rate is not what they remembered.
Does it handle a car loan where I also own the car?
Yes, and this is the case where net worth becomes informative. The car is an asset and the finance is a liability. If the loan is larger than the car is worth, that shows, which is the honest picture.
What about buy-now-pay-later and phone instalment plans?
They can be tracked the same way. They are usually short and interest-free but they are still fixed monthly obligations, and adding them to the total is the whole point of keeping the total.
Can I see what happens if I pay extra?
You can record a prepayment against principal and the remaining schedule and end date adjust. The app does not run what-if projections for you — the free EMI calculator on this site is a quicker way to test a scenario before committing to it.
I have loans in two currencies. Does that work?
Yes. Each loan is held in its own currency and rolls into one liability total, with balances converted for display and each payment keeping the rate of the day it was made.
Does it remind me before an instalment is due?
Scheduled payments appear in the forecast ahead of time, and notifications can be turned on if you want them. Nothing is switched on without your say-so.
