Frequently Asked Questions

What is reducing balance interest?

Reducing balance means interest is calculated on the outstanding loan principal. As you repay, the interest portion of each payment decreases and the principal portion increases.

How is this different from flat rate car loans?

For a flat-rate car loan, interest is charged on the original loan amount throughout. Check the agreement: reducing-balance car financing also exists. Home loans use reducing balance, which is generally cheaper over time.

Are processing fees and MRTA included?

No. This calculator shows principal and interest only. Banks may charge processing fees, legal fees, and MRTA insurance separately.

Home loans in Malaysia typically use a reducing balance (amortising) formula. Interest is calculated on the outstanding principal, so your interest portion decreases over time.

Reducing Balance Formula

Monthly rate = Annual rate / 12
Number of payments = Years x 12
Monthly payment = Principal x Monthly rate x (1 + Monthly rate)^N / ((1 + Monthly rate)^N - 1)

Example

Loan amount RM450,000, annual interest 4.2%, 35 years. Monthly payment is approximately RM2,047.
