This is your fixed monthly installment. Ensure it doesn't exceed 40% of your monthly income.
Total Interest
Total interest paid over the loan tenure. Lower rates and shorter tenures reduce this amount.
Total Repayment
Loan principal + total interest. This is the actual amount you'll pay back.

Use Loan CalculatorFrequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my monthly personal loan payment?
Use formula: EMI = [P × r × (1+r)^n] / [(1+r)^n-1], where P=principal, r=monthly interest rate, n=tenure in months. Or use our free online calculator for instant results.
What is included in monthly loan repayment?
Monthly payment (EMI) includes principal amount divided by tenure plus monthly interest. Early months pay more interest; later months pay more principal through amortization.
How much can I afford to borrow?
Financial advisors recommend keeping monthly loan repayment below 30-40% of your monthly income. Calculate using our loan affordability calculator considering existing debts.
Does loan tenure affect total interest paid?
Yes, longer tenure means smaller monthly payments but significantly higher total interest. For example, RM 50,000 at 6% for 3 years costs RM 4,700 interest vs RM 16,000 for 7 years.

Borrow Responsibly — Things to Consider First
- A personal loan is a debt with interest. Understand the full APR, total repayment, and tenure before you commit — not just the monthly figure.
- Borrow only what you genuinely need. A larger loan or longer tenure means more total interest paid.
- Keep your total monthly commitments within a comfortable debt-service ratio so repayment does not strain essentials.
- Missed or late payments can lead to extra charges and affect your CCRIS/CTOS record and future borrowing.
