1. What is the FNB Business Loan Repayment Calculator?

The FNB Business Loan Repayment Calculator helps business owners estimate their monthly loan payments using First National Bank's standard amortization formula. It calculates fixed monthly payments based on principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan amortization 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 ÷ 100)
\( n \) — Loan term in months

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

3. Importance of Loan Repayment Calculation

Details: Accurate repayment calculation is essential for business financial planning, cash flow management, and determining loan affordability before committing to financing.

4. Using the Calculator

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