This Saudi Arabia mortgage calculator models a Sharia-compliant home loan the way a Saudi bank does — a Murabaha or Ijara structure whose instalment is calculated with the standard amortising formula. It shows your monthly payment, the total profit cost over the term, your loan-to-value against SAMA’s cap, and whether the payment sits within a comfortable share of income.
How it works
Although the financing is Sharia-compliant, the repayment maths is identical to a conventional loan. The instalment uses:
M = P · r(1+r)ⁿ ⁄ ((1+r)ⁿ − 1)
where P is the financed amount, r is the monthly profit rate (annual profit ÷ 12 ÷ 100) and n is the term in months. The profit (the Sharia-compliant equivalent of interest) is M × n − P.
The tool also computes loan-to-value as financed ÷ price and checks it against SAMA’s first-home cap of up to 90%, and tests the payment against a recommended ceiling of about one-third of gross income as an affordability guide.
Example
A SAR 1,000,000 home with a SAR 100,000 deposit gives a SAR 900,000 financed amount — an LTV of 90%, right at the SAMA cap. At a 5% profit rate over 25 years the instalment is about SAR 5,261/month and the total profit over the term is roughly SAR 678,000. On a SAR 20,000 monthly income that payment is about 26% — comfortably inside a one-third guideline.
Notes
Real offers add administrative fees, takaful (Islamic insurance), and may carry variable profit rates that change over the term. Eligible Saudi nationals can access Real Estate Development Fund subsidies and Vision 2030 homeownership programmes that lower the effective deposit or profit cost. Treat this as a planning estimate, not a financing decision.
