The Nedbank Bond Repayment Calculator helps you estimate your monthly home loan payments using the standard amortization formula. It calculates your monthly installment based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the bond repayment formula:

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

Where:

\( M \) — Monthly payment (ZAR)

\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12 ÷ 100)
