1. What is the Mortgage EMI Calculator?

The Mortgage EMI Calculator helps you calculate your monthly mortgage payments in Hong Kong. It uses the standard EMI formula to determine your fixed monthly payment amount based on loan principal, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the EMI formula:

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