Murabaha is an Islamic finance structure where the bank buys an asset and sells it to the customer at a mark-up. No interest charged, just a fixed profit. This calculator shows total cost and monthly payments.

30,000 asset with 6% profit rate over 5 years: 9,000 mark-up, 39,000 total cost, 650 monthly. Effective rate similar to conventional 6% loan but Shariah-compliant structure.

Used for car, home, business, and equipment financing. Transparent upfront pricing - total cost is fixed at contract signing unlike variable-rate conventional loans.

Quick example

With asset cost of 30,000 and profit rate of 6% (plus term of 5), the result is 39,000.00. Change any figure and watch the output shift — it's often more useful to see the pattern than to memorise the formula.

Which inputs matter most

You enter Asset Cost, Profit Rate, and Term. Not every input has equal weight. Flip one at a time toward extreme values to feel which ones move the needle most for your situation.

What's happening under the hood

Mark-up = cost × rate × years. Total = cost + mark-up. Monthly = total / (years × 12). The formula is listed in full below. If the number looks off, you can retrace the calculation by hand — that's the point of showing the working.

Why payoff plans work

Debt feels overwhelming when it's an abstract total. Break it into a payoff date and a monthly figure and the problem becomes finite — you can see the finish line. That visibility is what this tool provides, and for many people it's the difference between dithering and acting.

What this doesn't capture

Real payoff journeys include missed payments, fee changes, balance transfers, and promotional rates that reset. The calculation assumes a steady plan; reality is rarely that clean. Use the figure as the best-case plan against which actual progress gets measured.

Example Scenario

£30,000 £ at 6% × 5 yearsyrs = $39,000.00.

Inputs

Asset Cost:30,000 £
Profit Rate:6
Term:5 years
Expected Result$39,000.00

This example uses typical values for illustration. Adjust the inputs above to match a specific situation and see how the result changes.

Sources & Methodology

Methodology

Mark-up = cost × rate × years. Total = cost + mark-up. Monthly = total / (years × 12).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Murabaha really interest-free?
Technically yes - contract is a sale not a loan. Profit is mark-up on a commodity sale, not interest on money. Practically, effective rates are similar to conventional but the legal structure differs, making it Shariah-compliant.
