1. What is the FNB Flexi Bond Calculator?

The FNB Flexi Bond Calculator helps estimate monthly repayments for flexible home loans using FNB's tool methodology. It calculates standard bond repayments with additional adjustments for flexi features that allow access to extra payments.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the flexi bond formula:

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

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (ZAR)
\( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (decimal)
\( n \) — Loan term in months
\( \text{Flexi Adjustment} \) — Additional amount for flexi access features (ZAR)

Explanation: The formula calculates standard amortizing loan payments plus an additional amount for flexi bond features that provide payment flexibility.

3. Importance of Flexi Bond Calculation

Details: Accurate flexi bond calculations help borrowers understand their monthly commitments and take advantage of flexible payment options while managing their home loan effectively.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the principal amount in ZAR, annual interest rate as a percentage, loan term in years, and any flexi adjustment amount. All values must be valid positive numbers.
