1. What is the FNB Bond Calculator?

The FNB Bond Calculator is a financial tool designed to help individuals in Namibia calculate their monthly bond repayments using First National Bank's standard calculation methods. It provides accurate estimates for home loan payments based on principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard bond payment formula:

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

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (NAD)
\( P \) — Principal loan amount (NAD)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Loan term in months (years × 12)

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

3. Importance of Bond Calculation

Details: Accurate bond calculation is essential for financial planning, budgeting, and determining affordability when considering property purchases in Namibia. It helps borrowers understand their long-term financial commitments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in NAD, annual interest rate as a percentage, and loan term in years. Ensure all values are realistic and within typical FNB Namibia lending parameters.
