Key Insights
Interest Share
Interest accounts for 12% of this loan's total repayments.
Loan Tenure
A longer tenure reduces EMI but increases total interest.
Prepayment
Even small prepayments can save you a significant amount.
Method and scope
Fixed-rate, fully amortising loan with equal monthly payments beginning one month after borrowing. The nominal annual interest rate is divided by 12. At zero interest, principal is divided equally across payments. Fees, insurance, property taxes, rate resets and prepayments are excluded. This is a principal-and-interest illustration, not a lender quotation.
Using this calculator in Malaysia
Use the amount borrowed in MYR, rather than a purchase price before a deposit. The Malaysia projection uses your nominal annual rate and equal monthly payments; fees, insurance and early repayments are excluded. A lender's quoted comparison rate or APR can include costs this model does not include.
Try the starting example
Amount borrowed: RM 20,000; Annual interest rate (nominal): 5%; Loan term (years): 5.
Monthly principal + interest: RM 377.42.
Compare one assumption at a time
A lower monthly repayment can come from spreading the same debt across more payments. Compare total repayment before deciding whether that trade-off fits your budget. Fees and insurance can change the actual cost of an offer. These fictional scenarios use the starting inputs printed above, not your current entries in the interactive calculator.

Are you using chargeable income and regular EPF wages correctly?
The income-tax tool uses chargeable income after reliefs for its supported assessment year. EPF instead uses regular monthly wages within its supported age and wage range. Official contribution bands can produce a step change at a wage boundary, so multiplying salary by a percentage can disagree with the displayed contribution.
To reproduce the table, reset the calculator, change only the named input and compare the result and any warning. Record the assumptions with your result. See worked planning examples and our calculation and correction process.
