Example: For a MYR 500,000 loan at 2.88% p.a. for 30 years, the monthly payment would be approximately MYR 2,075.51.
Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, comparing loan offers from different banks (like Maybank, CIMB, or Public Bank), and determining affordable loan amounts based on your income.
Tips: Enter the principal amount in MYR, annual interest rate (e.g., 2.88 for 2.88%), and loan tenure in years. The calculator will show your monthly EMI, total repayment amount, and total interest paid.
