Hi there,  biggrin.gif

BLR in M'sia now is 6.75%, set by Bank Negara.

It depends on which bank and which loan package you take,

For example:

Let's say Bank U offers u a package of BLR-1.5% for 30 years. (BLR = 6.75%)

Means 6.75-1.5 = 5.25%. If u borrow full loan, means 90% from RM 577,000,

your loan amount is 90% x RM 577,000 = RM 513,000.

Your interest is 5.25% per year of the loan amount.

You will be paying about RM 3,669 / month for this loan example (without calculating reducing balance) since this is a normal maths calculation.

Hope this simple explanation enligtens you a bit.

You may contact me for free consultation, I am a financial planner.  smile.gif

I'm very surprise to see that you don't use reducing balance since housing loan in malaysia use reducing balance. kenji1903 link http://www.fiscal-wise.com.my/FiscalWiseWe...nRepayment.aspx would do the calculations and the answer is RM2832.80 per month. Unfortunately you need to use IE and not firefox to view it properly. I have checked using financial calculator.

Alternatively you can use excel
=PMT(0.0525/12,30*12,513000,0,0)
It will give the same answer

where it is =PMT(rate /12 since its monthly payment, number of installment (30 years times 12 months), loan amount, default, default)

btw: BLR is not set by Bank Negara (like suggested by agent7) , its set by individual bank. Bank Negara set the OPR (Overnight Policy Rate).
