1. What is Bank Islam Personal Financing?

Bank Islam Personal Financing is a Sharia-compliant financing solution that provides customers with financial assistance based on Islamic principles. Unlike conventional loans, it operates on a profit-and-loss sharing concept without interest (riba).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Islamic financing formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal financing amount (MYR)
• \( r \) — Monthly profit rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of monthly payments
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully amortize the financing over its term, including the agreed profit rate.
