Formula Used

Monthly Payment Calculation

The monthly payment is calculated using the standard loan amortization formula:

M = P [ i(1 + i)^n ] / [ (1 + i)^n - 1 ]

Where:

  • M = Monthly payment
  • P = Principal loan amount
  • i = Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
  • n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the remaining balance each month, creating an amortizing loan where both principal and interest are paid down over time.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for AED 100,000 over 5 years at an annual interest rate of 8%.

  1. Principal (P) = AED 100,000
  2. Annual interest rate = 8% or 0.08
  3. Monthly interest rate (i) = 0.08 / 12 ≈ 0.0066667
  4. Number of payments (n) = 5 × 12 = 60

Plugging these values into the formula:

M = 100,000 [ 0.0066667(1 + 0.0066667)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.0066667)^60 - 1 ]

Calculating this gives a monthly payment of approximately AED 2,024.45.

Total interest paid over the loan term would be AED 24,534.00, and the total repayment amount would be AED 124,534.00.
