1. What is the Public Bank Personal Loan Calculator?

The Public Bank Personal Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly loan payments based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term. It uses the standard loan payment formula to provide accurate repayment estimates.

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)
• \( n \) — Number of monthly 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 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
