1. What is Maybank Credit Card Interest?

The Maybank credit card interest is calculated based on your outstanding balance and the annual percentage rate (APR). For car purchases, the interest can accumulate quickly if not paid promptly.

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal balance (MYR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (APR / 12)

Explanation: The formula calculates the monthly interest you'll pay on your Maybank credit card balance used for car purchases.

3. Importance of Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly interest helps in budgeting and planning repayments to avoid excessive interest accumulation on car purchases.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current principal balance in MYR and the APR percentage. The calculator will show your estimated monthly interest.
