1. What is the FNB Namibia Home Loan Calculator?

The FNB Namibia Home Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly mortgage payments using the standard amortization formula. It calculates your monthly payment based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard mortgage 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)
\( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in 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.

3. Importance of Home Loan Calculation

Details: Accurate home loan calculations help borrowers understand their financial commitments, plan their budgets effectively, and compare different loan options before making one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives.

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 positive and realistic for accurate results.
