1. What is NAB Unsecured Personal Loan?

NAB Unsecured Personal Loans are loans that don't require collateral, typically with higher interest rates than secured loans. They're used for various personal expenses like home improvements, travel, or debt consolidation.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

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

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

3. Understanding Loan Payments

Details: Each payment includes both interest and principal. Early payments have more interest; later payments have more principal. Unsecured loans typically have higher rates (10-25% APR) than secured loans.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter loan amount in AUD, annual interest rate (without % sign), and loan term in years (1-7 years typical for personal loans). Results show monthly payment, total repayment, and total interest.
