1. What is the Bank Islam Personal Loan Calculator?

This calculator helps estimate monthly payments for Bank Islam Bangladesh personal financing based on the principal amount, monthly profit rate, and loan term. It follows Islamic financing principles without interest.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Islamic financing formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal amount (MYR)
• \( r \) — Monthly profit rate (decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment (MYR)

Explanation: The formula calculates equal monthly payments that include both principal and profit portions, structured according to Islamic financing principles.

3. Understanding Islamic Financing

Details: Bank Islam financing follows Shariah principles, using profit rates instead of interest. The financing is typically based on concepts like Murabahah (cost-plus sale) or Tawarruq (commodity murabahah).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter principal amount in MYR, monthly profit rate as decimal (e.g., 0.01 for 1%), and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
