Generally, loans count as ‘low interest’ if the loan’s debit interest rate is lower than the reference interest rate that is used for the calculation of imputed income. At present, this stands at 6% in Germany.
The report RPCLOH00 calculates the current value of loans. The current value is its cash value. The cash value of a loan is the sum of the discounted planned repayments.
Discounting is the multiplication of an amount by a discounting factor. When i is the discount rate in %, the discounting factor for an amount that is counted in t years is:
(1 + i/100) -t .
The loans must already have been processed using the HR loan processing function.
The report RPCLOH00 calculates the cash value of loans and takes interest due into account with repayments.
