How this is calculated计算方式说明
What changed on 1 June 2026
The Hire Purchase (Amendment) Act 2026 was gazetted on 30 January 2026 and came into force on 1 June 2026. It abolished two things that had governed Malaysian car financing for decades:
- Flat interest rates. Interest used to be charged on the full original loan for every year of the tenure, even in the final year when you had already repaid most of the principal. A "3% flat" loan actually cost around 5.5% in real terms.
- The Rule of 78. This front-loaded interest into the early instalments, so settling early gave you far less rebate than you would expect — which is why paying off a car loan early rarely made financial sense.
New agreements now use the reducing balance method, with a disclosed effective interest rate (EIR). Interest is charged only on what you still owe, and the rate quoted is the rate you actually pay. This is the same basis as a housing loan, so the two are finally comparable.
The reform sits alongside the Consumer Credit Act 2025, which came into force on 1 March 2026.
If your loan started before 1 June 2026
The change applies to new agreements only. An existing hire purchase contract keeps its original flat-rate terms — the law was not applied retroactively.
However, member banks of the Association of Banks in Malaysia agreed to offer goodwill discounts on early settlement of pre-reform loans, so the payoff figure lands closer to what a reducing-balance loan would have produced. This is discretionary and each bank sets its own, so you have to ask. Use the legacy mode above to see roughly how much the Rule of 78 is costing you, then request a written settlement quote and ask explicitly about the goodwill discount.
Settling early now genuinely saves money
This is the practical consequence most people miss. Under the old system, interest was fixed at signing and rebated on a sum-of-digits basis, so an early payoff saved far less than intuition suggested. Under reducing balance, every ringgit of principal you repay early stops accruing interest immediately. If you come into money, paying down a car loan is now a real return rather than a token one.
What a fair rate looks like
Because the quoted figure is now an effective rate, you can compare it directly against other credit. Bank Negara's OPR is currently 2.75%, housing loans run around 4%, and car financing typically sits above that because a car is a depreciating asset. If someone quotes you a car rate below a housing loan rate, check whether they are quoting the old flat basis out of habit — on a pre-reform agreement, a 3% flat rate is roughly 5.5% effective.
2026年6月1日改了什么
《1967年租购法令(修正)2026》于 2026年1月30日宪报颁布,2026年6月1日生效,废除了两项主导马来西亚车贷数十年的做法:
- Flat 利率。以前利息是按原始贷款全额、乘以整个年限计算的 —— 即使到了最后一年、本金早已还得七七八八,利息照旧算全额。所谓「3% flat」的贷款,实际成本约 5.5%。
- 78 法则。它把利息集中在前期供期,导致提前结清能拿到的回扣远低于你的预期 —— 这就是为什么以前提早还清车贷通常不划算。
新签的合约改用递减余额法,并须披露实际利率(EIR)。利息只按你还欠的余额计算,报出来的利率就是你实际付的利率。这与房贷的计算基础相同,两者终于可以直接比较。
此项改革与 2026年3月1日生效的《2025年消费信贷法令》配套推行。
如果你的贷款在 2026年6月1日之前就开始了
这项改变只适用于新合约。已存在的分期付款合约仍沿用原本的 flat rate 条款 —— 法令并未追溯适用。
不过,马来西亚银行公会的成员银行已同意,为改革前旧贷款的提前结清提供善意折扣,让结清金额更接近递减余额法的水平。这是银行自行决定的,各家标准不同,所以你必须主动开口问。可先用上方的「旧贷款」模式估算 78 法则让你多付多少,然后向银行索取书面结清报价,并明确询问善意折扣。
现在提早还清是真的能省钱
这是最多人忽略的实际影响。在旧制度下,利息在签约时就已固定,回扣按数字总和法计算,提前还清省下的远比直觉少。改用递减余额之后,你提前还的每一令吉本金,都会立即停止产生利息。如果你手上有闲钱,现在提前还车贷是实实在在的回报,不再只是象征性的。
怎样才算合理的利率
由于报价现在是实际利率,你可以直接拿它跟其他信贷比较。国家银行 OPR 目前为 2.75%,房贷约 4%,车贷通常会高于房贷,因为车子是贬值资产。如果有人报给你的车贷利率低于房贷利率,要留意对方是不是习惯性地还在用旧的 flat 报价 —— 在改革前的合约里,3% flat 大约等于 5.5% 实际利率。
