1. What is Motorcycle Loan EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower pays to a lender each month for a motorcycle loan. It includes both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Loan principal amount (RM)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that will completely pay off the loan (principal + interest) over the loan term.
