Different Ways of Paying ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Different Ways of Paying ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Paying in Advance ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Telephones  A telephone landline has to be paid for in advance.  The telephone company will bill a customer for the cost of the line for the future three months and then will bill the customer for the actual calls made during the last three months.  Pay-as-you-go mobiles are also payments in advance. The phone is topped up with money, which we call ‘credit’. So, in effect, we have paid in advance for the calls. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Telephones These two examples suggest that there are two reasons for payments in advance – that is:  the seller insists on it; and  it is convenient. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Season Tickets We buy season tickets because they offer us a discounted price, compared with the usual price – but only if you use the facilities regularly or make many visits. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Activity 4a How many different types of season ticket can you think of? ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Activity 4a Solution Your answers will have included; train or bus season tickets; season tickets to sports events; season tickets to theatres or concert venues; season tickets to zoos; theme park season tickets; children’s play park season tickets; and season tickets for swimming pools. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Did you know? At the time of writing, a child’s full annual pass for Legoland in Windsor costs £76.50 when bought online, while the cost of a single visit is £41.40 on the gate (or £31.05 if bought online). Alton Towers charges £99 for an annual individual theme park pass when bought online, while the cost of a child’s day ticket is £40.80 on the gate (or £30.60 if bought online). ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Activity 4b A rail season ticket between Bradford and Leeds is £95.70 a month. The return journey is £7.20 a day. If someone does this journey every day for a month (assuming that this comprises 22 working days), how much will they save by buying the season ticket? ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Activity 4b Solution The savings is calculated as: £7.20 x 22 days = £ £ £95.70 = £62.70 ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Magazine Subscriptions  A monthly magazine is a popular purchase for many of us. If you take out a subscription, which means that you pay in advance for six editions or 12 editions, the magazine publisher will offer a discount.  The advantage of this for the customer is the reduced price and that the magazine will be sent by post, so that the customer will not need to go to the shops to collect it. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Magazine Subscriptions  The advantage for the publisher is that it has some guaranteed sales for the next six or 12 months. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Holidays & Travel  When you book a package holiday, you will usually pay a deposit on booking and then the balance several weeks before you leave.  We accept this as a normal way of doing business. It makes sense: no holiday company is going to let you take a flight and stay in a hotel, and then ask for payment only afterwards.  The situation is the same for flight and train tickets. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Rent & Rental Bond  When someone rents a house or flat, a contract is drawn up. It is normal for the landlord to expect the tenant to pay each month’s rent in advance and also to make an extra payment at the beginning as a deposit (usually one or two months’ rent). ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Rent & Rental Bond  This deposit of extra money is called a ‘rental bond’. This means that the landlord will keep this money as security in case the tenant disappears without paying rent or causes damage to the property for which the landlord has to pay. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Rent & Rental Bond  At the end of the contract, assuming that all of the rent has been paid and that there has been no damage to the property, the landlord will return the deposit to the tenant.  This type of payment in advance is another example of a normal way of doing business. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Insurance  Insurance can also be considered to be a payment in advance.  Insurance for a motorbike, for example, may be for a 12-month period. The insurance company is covering the customer for the risk of accidents or the theft of the bike over the 12 months. It is the company’s usual way of doing business to ask for the payment in advance. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Insurance  Some insurance companies will quote for monthly payments, even though the whole contact is for the year. This helps a customer to manage their money. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Paying Regularly & Automatically  The providers of services such as electricity and gas offer customers a discount if they make regular monthly payments.  The method uses an estimate.  The total bill for the year is estimated and divided into 12 monthly payments; these payments can be made by direct debit. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Paying Regularly & Automatically  At the end of the year, a new estimate is made and the payments adjusted to take into account any overpayment made during the previous period.  This type of payment in advance is a good way of managing money, because the monthly payments are the same.  Further, at the end of the year, there is a chance that you will have made a small overpayment, which will help towards next year’s bill. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Paying in Advance & Budgeting  A budget is a financial plan. It does help us to plan if payments are made regularly and are the same amount each time.  The usual time period for which people prepare a budget is a month, because this fits in with their income.  Some of the advance payments are helpful when making financial plans, such as monthly insurance and regular automatic payments. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)

Paying in Advance & Budgeting  Other types of payment in advance are helpful when planning because they reduce the cost – season tickets, for example – or because they fix the cost so that you know that it will not change during the year – for example, a magazine subscription. ifs Certificate in Personal Finance (CPF5)
