1. What is the Personal Loan Repayment Calculator?

The Nedbank Personal Loan Repayment Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a personal loan. It uses the standard amortization formula to calculate fixed monthly payments based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan repayment formula:

Where:

• \( M \) — Monthly payment (ZAR)
• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (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 helps borrowers understand their financial commitments, budget effectively, and compare different loan options before making borrowing decisions.

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.
