1. What is the Personal Loan Payment Calculator?

This calculator estimates the monthly payment for Absa Bank Mauritius personal loans using the standard loan payment formula. It helps borrowers understand their repayment obligations before applying for a loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the loan payment formula:

Where:

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

Explanation: The formula accounts for both principal and interest payments over the loan term, with interest being front-loaded in the repayment schedule.

3. Importance of Loan Payment Calculation

Details: Calculating monthly payments helps borrowers assess affordability, compare loan options, and plan their budgets before committing to a loan.
