great tools to calculate home loan repayment.
however, i would like to request so that the Loan Amount column to be editable since Loan Amount is not necessarily equal to Purchase Price x MOF.
Loan Amount = Purchase Price x MOF + MRTA + Legal + etc is more accurate i think. (at least in my case)
SM, I will add MRTA & others column. I think that should solve your problem. Alternatively you can put in everything in Purchase price & set MOF to 100%.
As far as I know you can’t include legal cost in loan amount.
Thx 1MDB.. sorry if my request bothering you.
Last time seems loan cant cover Legal. But now got varies of loan structure. Mine 90% + 10% which cover the legal, MRTA etc. some even got 90% + 10% + 10% for house renovation.
SM, not to worry.
Thanks for the information.
I have plug in all the datas, but the answer is weird, may I know the unit for each data? such as interest rate, in no or %? the power of -n, answer coming out either 0 or error, could you demonstrate an example may be?
Do the calculation in Excel. Make sure you have the bracket where it should be. For percentage make sure to include % symbol or put in the figure in decimal.
