The name "Rule of 78" refers to the sum of the digits in the denominators of the months in a year. For example, if you have a 12-month loan, the sum of the digits would be 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+11+12 = 78. Hence the name, Rule of 78.
The Rule of 78s is also known as the sum of the digits. In fact, the 78 is a sum of the digits of the months in a year: 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4, etc., to 12, equals 78. Under the rule, each month in the contract is assigned a value which is exactly the reverse of its occurrence in the contract.
The rule is based on one year of interest. The '78' comes from adding the numbers from 1-12 together. The annual interest is divided into 78 units. In month one you pay 12 units of interest with the remaining part of your repayment being capital.
The Rule of 78 accelerates the accrual of interest at the start of the loan, and the purpose of using the actuarial method for posting to income is to avoid having that acceleration reflected in the ledger.
Though it was outlawed in 1992 for loans longer than 61 months, some lenders still use this practice. It's widely viewed as unfair to borrowers who may decide to pay off their loans early to save money on interest.
The Rule of 78 allocates pre-calculated interest charges that favor the lender over the borrower for short-term loans or if a loan is paid off early. The Rule of 78 methodology gives added weight to months in the earlier cycle of a loan, so a greater portion of interest is paid earlier.

It is simple. Multiply the revenue from new subscribers you expect to acquire each month by 78 to get your total estimated revenue for the first year.

Any mention of Rule of 78 or precomputed interest will tell you the loan is not simple interest and will have larger interest payments early in the loan. If the agreement mentions an interest refund, pay attention.
To determine the interest cost for this loan, we plug in the values into the formula: Interest = $2,000 × 6% × 0.5 = $2,000 × 0.06 × 0.5 = $60. Therefore, the simple interest cost for a $2,000 loan at a 6% rate for half a year is $60.
Basically, the rebate amount will be calculated as if the finance charges were earned using the average daily balance interest calculations. The rebate amount would be the difference between the total finance charges indicated on the contract and the earned finance charges.
Your interest charges will be added to the amount you owe, causing your loan to grow over time. This can occur if you are in a deferment for an unsubsidized loan or if you have an income-based repayment (IBR) plan and your payments are not large enough to cover the monthly accruing interest.
Because interest is calculated against the principal balance, paying down the principal in less time on your mortgage reduces the interest you'll pay. Even small additional principal payments can help. Here are a few example scenarios with some estimated results for additional payments.
