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 particularly useful for Maybank Malaysia personal loans to help borrowers understand their repayment obligations.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

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

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 from Maybank Malaysia.

4. Using the Calculator

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