1. What is the Absa Personal Loan Calculator?

The Absa Personal Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments for a personal loan from Absa Bank in South Africa. It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your fixed monthly payments based on the loan amount, interest rate, and repayment term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

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

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
\( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)
\( PMT \) — Fixed monthly payment amount (ZAR)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed payment required each month to pay off a loan with interest over a specified term.

3. Understanding Loan Payments

Details: Your monthly payment consists of both principal and interest. Early in the loan term, more of your payment goes toward interest. As you pay down the principal, more of your payment goes toward reducing the loan balance.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in ZAR, the annual interest rate (not monthly), and the loan term in months (12-84 months for most Absa personal loans). All values must be positive numbers.
