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. This calculation is used by Maybank Indonesia and other financial institutions to determine loan repayment amounts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, with payments being equal each month (amortization).

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures you can comfortably afford the loan before committing to it.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in IDR, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in months. All values must be positive numbers.
