1. What is the NAB Personal Car Loan Calculator?

The NAB Personal Car Loan Calculator helps you estimate your monthly repayments for a National Australia Bank car loan. It uses the standard loan amortization formula to calculate your fixed monthly payment amount.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

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

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 Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly repayment amount helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable before you commit. It also allows you to compare different loan options.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in AUD, annual interest rate (without the % sign), and loan term in years. All values must be positive numbers.
