1. What is the FNB Bank Loan Calculator?

The FNB Bank Loan Calculator uses the standard amortization formula to calculate monthly loan payments for First National Bank loans. It helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations before applying for a loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

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

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (ZAR)
\( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Accurate loan calculation helps borrowers budget effectively, compare different loan options, and understand the total cost of borrowing before committing to a loan agreement.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ZAR, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. Ensure all values are positive and realistic for accurate results.
