Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate monthly payments:

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 multiplied by 12)

This formula accounts for the interest on the remaining balance each month, creating equal monthly payments.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan with these parameters:

  • Loan amount: MYR 200,000
  • Annual interest rate: 5%
  • Loan term: 5 years

Using the formula:

i = 5% / 12 = 0.0041667 n = 5 * 12 = 60 M = 200,000 [ 0.0041667(1 + 0.0041667)^60 ] / [ (1 + 0.0041667)^60 - 1 ] M ≈ MYR 4,166.67

Total interest paid: MYR 64,000

Total cost of loan: MYR 264,000

This example shows how the calculator helps you understand the true cost of borrowing.
