1. What is the ANZ Personal Loan Repayment Formula?

The PMT formula calculates fixed monthly payments for ANZ personal loans in New Zealand. It accounts for the principal amount, interest rate, and loan term to determine consistent repayments over the life of the loan.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the standard loan payment formula:

Where:

• \( P \) — Principal loan amount (NZD)
• \( r \) — Monthly interest rate (annual rate ÷ 12)
• \( n \) — Total number of payments (term in years × 12)
• \( PMT \) — Monthly payment amount (NZD)

Explanation: The formula calculates the fixed payment required to fully amortize the loan over its term, including both principal and interest components.

3. Importance of Loan Repayment Calculation

Details: Understanding your monthly payment helps with budgeting and ensures the loan is affordable. It also shows the total cost of borrowing, including all interest charges.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the loan amount in NZD, annual interest rate as a percentage (e.g., 12.5), and loan term in years. The calculator will show your monthly payment, total repayment, and total interest.
