1. What is EMI?

EMI (Equated Monthly Installment) is the fixed payment amount a borrower pays to a lender at a specified date each calendar month. For motor loans in Malaysia, EMI payments include both principal and interest components.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard EMI formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment that would pay off the loan over its term with interest.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Understanding your EMI helps in financial planning, comparing loan offers from different Malaysian banks, and determining affordability before purchasing a motorcycle.
