1. What is the NAB Car Loan Calculator?

The NAB Car Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly repayments for a car loan from National Australia Bank (NAB). It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your payments based on the loan amount, interest rate, and term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: This formula accounts for both principal and interest payments over the life of the loan.

3. Understanding Car Loan Repayments

Details: Your monthly payment includes both principal and interest. Early in the loan, more of your payment goes toward interest; later, more goes toward principal.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in AUD, the annual interest rate (NAB's current rates), and the loan term in years. The calculator will show your estimated monthly payment, total repayment amount, and total interest.
