1. What is the Mortgage Interest Calculator?

The Mortgage Interest Calculator calculates the Equated Monthly Installment (EMI) for Hong Kong mortgages using the standard EMI formula. It helps borrowers understand their monthly payment obligations and the interest component of their mortgage.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

\[ EMI = \frac{P \times R \times (1 + R)^N}{(1 + R)^N - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (HKD)
\( R \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12 and converted to decimal)
\( N \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in years multiplied by 12)

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

Details: Accurate EMI calculation is crucial for financial planning, budgeting, and understanding the total cost of borrowing for a mortgage in Hong Kong.
