1. What is NAB Loan Repayment?

The NAB (National Australia Bank) loan repayment calculator helps you estimate your monthly payments, total repayment amount, and total interest paid over the life of a loan based on the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan repayment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount ($)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (loan term in years × 12)

Explanation: This formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to fully repay a loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Loan Repayment Calculation

Details: Understanding your loan repayment schedule helps with financial planning, budgeting, and comparing different loan options. It shows the true cost of borrowing.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in dollars, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 5.25), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
