1. What is Maybank Home Loan Interest?

The Maybank Home Loan Interest is calculated monthly based on your outstanding principal balance and the annual interest rate. This calculation helps borrowers understand how much interest they'll pay each month.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( I \) — Monthly interest (MYR)
• \( P \) — Principal balance (MYR)
• \( R \) — Monthly interest rate (Annual rate / 12 as decimal)

Explanation: The monthly interest is calculated by multiplying the principal balance by the monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12).

3. Importance of Interest Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly interest helps with financial planning, comparing loan products, and making informed decisions about prepayments or refinancing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your current principal balance in MYR and the annual interest rate in percentage. The calculator will show the interest portion of your next payment.
