How to use it
  1. Enter the asset cost.
  2. Enter the agreed profit margin.
  3. Enter the repayment term.
  4. Read the total payable and monthly payment.
Formula
Total payable = cost + profit margin (fixed, agreed at signing). Monthly payment = total payable ÷ number of months.
Worked example

A $20,000 asset with a $3,000 agreed profit over 36 months: $23,000 total payable, $638.89/month.

Murabaha (fixed profit)$638.89$638.89$638.89Flat — total profit is fixed at signing and split evenly across every installment
Diminishing Musharakah (declining co-ownership)$2,000.00$1,504.17 (month 120)$1,004.17Declining — rent shrinks each month as the bank's ownership share is bought out
Ijara (lease)$133.33$133.33$133.33Flat — rent on the full asset value, with no ownership buildup
Interpreting your result

The profit margin is fixed at contract signing and never compounds, unlike conventional interest — the total payable is the same regardless of how long the repayment schedule runs.

Recommendations
  • Because the profit is fixed, paying off a Murabaha early doesn't reduce the total profit owed the way paying off a conventional loan early reduces future interest — check your specific contract's terms.
Frequently asked questions
No — the profit is fixed at signing rather than compounding on an outstanding balance, and the bank takes real ownership of the asset before reselling it to you, a genuine structural difference.
