Formula Used

The calculator uses the standard auto loan payment formula:

Monthly Payment = P × (r(1 + r)^n) / ((1 + r)^n - 1)

Where:

P = Principal loan amount
r = Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
n = Number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment for a loan with a fixed interest rate.

Worked Example

Let's calculate a loan for MYR 100,000 over 5 years at 6% annual interest:

Convert annual rate to monthly: 6% ÷ 12 = 0.5% or 0.005
Calculate number of payments: 5 × 12 = 60
Plug into formula: 100,000 × (0.005(1 + 0.005)^60) / ((1 + 0.005)^60 - 1)
Result: MYR 2,124.40 per month

Total interest paid: MYR 31,488.00

Total amount repaid: MYR 131,488.00
