1. What is the Maybank Car Loan EMI Formula?

The Maybank Car Loan EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) formula calculates your fixed monthly payment for a car loan in Malaysia and Singapore. It accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term to determine your monthly obligations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (MYR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12, in decimal)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly installments (loan term in years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment amount that will pay off the loan principal plus interest over the specified term.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Calculating your EMI helps you budget effectively, compare loan offers, and understand the total cost of your car purchase before committing to a loan.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in MYR, annual interest rate (starting from 2.88% p.a.), and loan term in years (typically 1-10 years). All values must be positive numbers.
