1. What is the Personal Loan Payment Formula?

The personal loan payment formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified term, including interest. This is the standard formula used by banks and financial institutions.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the PMT formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (AED)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (AED)

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest payments over the loan term, with more interest paid earlier in the loan period.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable. It also helps compare different loan offers.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in AED, annual interest rate (without % sign), and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
