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 is the standard formula used by MCB Bank and most financial institutions for personal loans.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal repayment and interest charges, calculating a fixed payment that fully amortizes the loan over the term.

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 MUR, annual interest rate (without % sign), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
