Estimate only. It assumes each extra payment goes straight to the loan balance, as on a flexi loan. Ask your bank how it treats extra payments, and if paying off early has a fee.
How it works
Why does paying extra save interest?
Banks charge interest each month on what you still owe. An extra payment cuts that balance straight away, so every later month has less interest and the loan ends sooner.
How is the monthly instalment worked out?
With the standard loan formula: loan × r ÷ (1 − (1 + r)−n). Here r is the yearly rate ÷ 12, and n is the number of months.
What does this look like on a real loan?
A loan of RM 500,000 over 35 years at 4.3% has an instalment of RM 2,304.74 a month. Paying RM 100 extra from year 1 saves RM 49,157.55 in interest and ends the loan 37 months sooner.
