How Loan Repayments Are Calculated

This calculator uses the reducing-balance (amortisation) method, which is the standard approach for personal loans, home loans, and most bank term loans in Malaysia. Each monthly payment covers interest on the outstanding balance first; the remainder reduces your principal.

M = P ร— [r(1+r)โฟ] รท [(1+r)โฟ โˆ’ 1]

M = monthly payment ยท P = principal ยท r = monthly rate ยท n = total months

Tenure vs Interest

Extending your tenure lowers monthly payments but can more than double your total interest paid. Run the numbers before committing.

๐Ÿ’ธ

Early Repayment

Many Malaysian banks allow early settlement. Paying extra toward principal early in the tenure saves the most interest due to the reducing-balance structure.

Flat vs Reducing Rate

Car hire-purchase uses flat rates โ€” the interest is fixed on the original principal. A 3.5% flat rate is equivalent to roughly 6โ€“7% reducing balance.
