1. What is the PMT Formula?

The PMT (Payment) formula calculates the fixed monthly payment required to repay a loan over a specified term at a constant interest rate. It's used for Nedbank personal loans in South Africa with terms up to 72 months.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the PMT formula:

\[ PMT = P \times \frac{r \times (1 + r)^n}{(1 + r)^n - 1} \]

Where:

\( P \) — Principal loan amount (ZAR)
\( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate divided by 12)
\( n \) — Number of monthly payments (loan term in months)
\( PMT \) — Fixed monthly payment amount (ZAR)

Explanation: The formula accounts for compound interest over the loan term, calculating what portion of each payment goes toward principal vs. interest.

3. Importance of Loan Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable. It also shows the total cost of borrowing (principal + interest).

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in ZAR, annual interest rate (%), and loan term in months (1-72). All values must be positive numbers.
