Settling Loan after a few months

Hi, wasnt sure where to post this but just looking some general advice.

I need a loan, but for a few month’s only.

Am I right in saying that any interest is calculated on a daily rate rather than front-loaded?

I.e if I borrow £5k over 5 years and lets just say the interest is equivalent to £500 per year then woukd paying it off after 6 months means i only pay £250 interest.

The above is hypothetical but I just dont want to find out I have to pay back loads of interest, just the interest for the period borrowed before paying back?

Thanks

It’s visibly front loaded but if you pay early you pay for the days you’ve had the loan not the full term.

Correct (in principle, give or take a little math)
