1. What is the Mortgage EMI Calculator?

The Mortgage EMI Calculator helps you calculate your monthly Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for a Hong Kong mortgage loan. It considers the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term to determine your monthly payment obligation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (HK$)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
• \( n \) — Loan term in months

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over the specified term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of EMI Calculation

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is essential for financial planning, budgeting, and determining affordability of a mortgage in Hong Kong's property market.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in HK$, annual interest rate in percentage, and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
