1. What is the FNB Home Loan Repayment Calculator?

The FNB Home Loan Repayment Calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments using the standard amortization formula. It calculates your monthly installment based on the loan amount, interest rate, and loan term, similar to FNB's home loan calculation tool.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard home loan repayment 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 (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 Home Loan Repayment Calculation

Details: Accurate repayment calculation is essential for budgeting, understanding your financial commitment, comparing different loan options, and ensuring you can afford the monthly payments before committing to a home loan.

4. Using the Calculator

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