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
