1. What is Westpac Personal Loan?

Westpac offers personal loans from $4,000 to $50,000 with terms from 1 to 7 years. Interest rates range from 6.49% to 12.99% p.a. (as of 2023), depending on your credit profile and loan purpose.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

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

Where:

$ PMT $ — Monthly payment (AUD)
$ P $ — Principal loan amount (AUD)
$ r $ — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
$ n $ — Total number of payments (term in years × 12)

Explanation: This formula accounts for compound interest over the life of the loan, calculating equal monthly payments that pay off both principal and interest.

3. Understanding Loan Payments

Details: Each payment includes both interest and principal repayment. Early in the loan, more goes toward interest; later, more goes toward principal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount (minimum $4,000), select an interest rate between 6.49%-12.99%, and choose term from 1-7 years. Results show monthly payment and total cost.
